The EU is eliminating the €150 customs exemption for packages entering in 2026, meaning merchants must now calculate import taxes on every order. ePal Global offers a service to handle customs compliance automatically, currently free for a limited time.
The European Union recently announced plans to accelerate removal of the €150 exemption on customs duty for low-value packages. Packages worth more than €150 already attract customs duty, and this can be problematic for merchants to calculate. This requirement will be extended to all cross-border packages, no matter the value, 2026. This change was thought to be years away, but recent developments in cross-border trade have prompted the EU to bring the rule change forward. This means that ecommerce merchants will need to calculate import taxes and customs duties for every single package they sell into the EU. Merchants who want to focus on selling instead of monitoring tax and duty regulations 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 ecommerce merchants thousands of euros worth of cross-border transactions. Fee-free. If you are selling into the EU, or if you want to but think it's too complicated, you can take advantage of this limited time offer by heading to duty.epalglobal.com or search EPAL Global online.
