So just receive this little beauty from Royal Mail:From 1 July 2026, a flat customs duty of €3 will apply to Business to Consumer (B2C) parcels under €150 entering the EU. The EU describes the measure as temporary, ahead of broader EU customs reform. According to the Council’s of the European Union's release, the €3 duty will apply to all B2C goods under €150, including those sold by non-EU sellers registered under the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) for VAT purposes. It will apply per line. If a single parcel contains multiple different types of items, the duty can add up.Well I guess that's that then. I'm done with it. The last few years of trading to Europe has bust been a minefield, but this is just mental. I'm actually contemplating using E-bays international postal service. I can't even bvelive im saying that, but it looks by far the better option now with all the red tape and bureaucracy.Were you aware of this? Do you have a plan? What do you think?
