The EU Council gave final approval to customs reform that makes non-EU e-commerce platforms the importer

The framework makes platforms selling to EU consumers responsible for customs formalities and duties, with serious non-compliance punishable by fines up to 6% of prior-year import value. A small-parcel handling fee is due by November 1. Operators should audit importer status, SKU identifiers, IOSS data, declarations and price buffers now.
