If you purchase from a business within the European Union, then you have nothing to worry about. You will not have to pay anything extra to import your parcel.
If you purchase books, clothing, or other items from businesses that are located outside of the European Union, then you may have to pay import duties or VAT.
Effective July 1, 2026:
- Import duties will be levied on all commercial imports (B2C and B2B) into the European Union.
- Most low-value B2C shipments will be subject to a fixed import duty of EUR 3 per product type, based on the commodity code.
- B2B shipments below EUR 150 can no longer be declared using a simplified customs declaration.
- Import VAT will continue to apply as it does today.
