trade history. The <strong>EU de minimis<\/strong> rule \u2014 which allowed goods valued at \u20ac150 or less to enter the EU free of customs duty \u2014 is gone. In its place: a temporary \u20ac3 flat customs duty per item line on qualifying low-value imports, and a requirement for full customs declarations on every parcel, regardless of value.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scale of what this touches is significant. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/news-and-media\/news\/tackling-challenges-e-commerce-imports-2025-02-05_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Commission<\/a>, around 4.6 billion low-value consignments entered the EU in 2024 \u2014 roughly 12 million parcels a day, and twice as many as the year before. That figure rose to nearly 5.9 billion in 2025. The rule change does not affect every road freight shipment, but it reshapes a significant portion of cross-border freight flows in ways that matter directly to shippers, carriers, and forwarders operating on European corridors.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide covers exactly what changed, who it affects, how the new \u20ac3 duty works in practice, and what the freight industry needs to do now.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26a9c3d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"26a9c3d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7175d6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7175d6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Was the \u20ac150 De Minimis Exemption \u2014 and Why Did It Exist?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2996d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a2996d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The de minimis rule was originally designed to spare customs authorities the administrative burden of processing duties on small parcels. Under the rules in place until 30 June 2026, goods imported into the EU in a consignment with an intrinsic value of \u20ac150 or less were exempt from customs duties. Intrinsic value means the price of the goods themselves \u2014 shipping, insurance, and other charges are excluded, provided they are shown separately on the invoice.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: VAT is a separate matter. The <strong>VAT exemption on low-value imports was removed in 2021<\/strong> \u2014 so all goods imported into the EU have been subject to VAT regardless of value since then. What changed on 1 July 2026 is the <strong>customs duty<\/strong> exemption \u2014 not the VAT treatment.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The European Commission cited two primary reasons for ending the exemption. First, with customs procedures now digitised and electronic data available for every shipment, the original administrative justification no longer applies. Second, EU-wide inspections across all 27 member states in 2025 found that <strong>over 60% of checked low-value imported products failed EU safety standards<\/strong> \u2014 due to missing labels, forbidden ingredients, or absent safety documentation. The duty-free treatment was seen as a competitive disadvantage for EU-based sellers and a loophole for non-compliant goods.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
