Written on September 10, 2025 in Uncategorized

The EU proposes a €2 handling fee on low-value parcels sent to consumers from outside the bloc. The proposal targets huge volumes of small packages from China and awaits final approval by EU institutions. European ParliamentReuters The fee charges sellers or importers, not customs lines to consumers in the draft.

Financial Timesvatcalc.com Concrete impact examples (simple math):• €5 item with 20% coupon: buyer pays €4. Seller net after coupon = €4. Seller pays €2 fee -> net = €2. If seller passes fee to buyer, buyer pays €6.• €20 item with 25% coupon: buyer pays €15. Seller net after coupon = €15. Seller pays €2 fee -> net = €13. If passed to buyer, buyer pays €17.• €50 item with 10% coupon: buyer pays €45. Seller net after coupon = €45. Seller pays €2 fee -> net = €43. If passed to buyer, buyer pays €47.These examples show the fee can wipe out coupon value on very low-ticket items and cut seller margin on mid-ticket items. (Data from EU proposal and reporting.)
