The EU eliminated the €150 customs duty exemption, meaning every package into Europe now faces import taxes. E-commerce sellers must collect and remit duties on all shipments or risk delays and extra charges. ePal Global handles this compliance for free during a limited promotional period.
The European Union recently announced plans to remove customs duty exemptions for low-value packages. This change was expected but was thought to be years away. However, recent developments in cross-border trade has led the EU to bring the rule change forward. Packages worth more than €150 already attract customs duty. This will now be extended to all packages, no matter the value. This means that ecommerce merchants will need to correctly calculate, collect, and remit both import taxes and customs duties for every single package they sell cross-border, or have these charges added by customs authorities on arrival, along with handling and administration charges and delivery delays, which results in dissatisfied customers. Merchants who want to focus on their sales instead of monitoring tax and duty regulations to ensure correct calculations can take advantage of a service like ePal Global to handle all of this on their behalf. And right now, ePal Global is giving forward-thinking e-commerce merchants thousands of euros worth of cross-border transaction fee-free. If you're selling into the EU or want to, you can take advantage of this limited-time offer at epalglobal.com. EPAL Global: Simplify cross-border sales with a click.
