    The EU €3 flat duty since 1 July 2026

    In short

    Since 1 July 2026 the EU's €150 duty-free threshold is gone. Every consignment under €150 pays a flat €3 duty per distinct 6-digit HS code line, regardless of value. At or above €150 nothing changed (full TARIC duty + VAT).

    • Three items under one HS6 code = €3. Two items under two HS6 codes = €6. Classification now directly sets the duty.
    • The €3 sits outside IOSS (IOSS covers VAT only) — Teleship collects it at checkout and pays it at import, so your customer still pays nothing at the door.
    • The duty is in your checkout total automatically; nothing to configure. If you see €3 lines you didn't expect, check whether products share an HS6 code — over-granular classification costs money.
    • Not refundable on returns (Returns: costs, what is refunded, EU return labels).
    • Coming: €2 customs handling fee per items + EU Product Identifiers (PIDs) mandatory on declarations from November 2026 — keep product data clean now. Guide: teleship.com/blog.
