As of July 1, 2026, EU customs regulations have changed, and the previous low-value import exemption no longer applies. As a result, customs duties, VAT (Value Added Tax), or other customs clearance charges may apply regardless of the order value. These charges are the responsibility of the recipient and may be collected by the local carrier or customs authority.
Customs duties and taxes vary depending on factors such as the type of product, its value, the applicable HS code, and the regulations of the destination country. A customs duty of EUR 3 is assessed per HS code. However, please note that even within the same product category, the applicable HS code may differ depending on the classification standards of each country and customs authority. Therefore, the final HS code classification and the corresponding customs duty amount will be determined by the local customs authority.
Please note that if customs duties and taxes are assessed, the carrier may charge additional handling fees related to their collection.
※ What is an HS Code?
HS Code stands for Harmonized System Code, an internationally standardized product classification system. Products may be classified under different HS codes depending on their type and characteristics.
