Trade Update: Introduction of €3 customs charge for EU imports

We have updated our calculation logic for shipments into the European Union (EU) to support the upcoming EU de minimis changes. As of 03:00 GMT 30 June 2026. a fixed €3 duty now applies to items in shipments valued under €150 imported from outside the EU.

Calculation update:

The duty will be charged for each distinct 6-digit HS tariff heading (HS6) contained in the shipment, regardless of the quantity of items within that HS6 category.

For example, a shipment containing:
2 × 8517.13.0000 (HS6: 851713)
1 × 6203.42.3500 (HS6: 620342)
1 × 6203.42.3100 (HS6: 620342)
contains two distinct HS6 codes (851713 and 620342), so the total duty would be €6

API update:

This duty will be included in the additional_tax_and_charges_total and will also be included in the as an item in the additional_tax_and_charges_items array. For example:

{
  "id": "1719953",
  "type": "additional_tax_and_charge",
  "attributes": {
    "name": "EU Low-Value Import Charge",
    "currency_code": "EUR",
    "total_value": "3.0"
  }
}
