The EU will abolish the rule that Customs Duty does not apply to low value goods (less than €150) entering the EU

It will impose a fixed Customs Duty of €3 from 1 July 2026, until completion of the EU data hub which is expected to be on 1 July 2028.

When operational, the data hub will enable Customs Duty to apply to all imported goods, regardless of value, on an ad valorem basis.
