From Wednesday onwards, the European Union is introducing a new €3 customs duty on low-value parcels entering the bloc from outside the EU – will you end up paying for this?

The measure implements a new EU framework under which small parcels valued at up to 150 euros arriving from third-country platforms will no longer be exempt

Under the new framework, a temporary customs fee of 3 euros per product category will be imposed on shipments valued up to 150 euros.
