The EU's three-euro duty on each low-value imported item is live, with a Union handling fee possible from November at the earliest

The duty-free threshold for imports under EUR150 is gone, and the temporary duty is charged per item rather than once per parcel. A handling fee may follow from November at the earliest. Low-ticket multi-item and split-shipment models face the sharpest pressure, so sellers should review classification, IOSS, DDP, consolidation and checkout disclosure.
