Before you buy, I'd like to be upfront about import costs so there are no surprises.
My items ship on a DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) basis, which means import charges are NOT included in the item price or shipping EUR they are paid by you to the carrier at the time of delivery.
What's changing in the EU:
- From 1 July 2026, the EU is removing the duty-free exemption for parcels valued at EUR150 or less. A flat customs duty of EUR3 per product category will apply.
- From 1 November 2026, an additional EU handling fee (around EUR2) is expected to be introduced, bringing the total to roughly EUR5 per product category.
Please note this charge is per product category (HS tariff heading), not per item: several of the same product count as one category, while different categories are charged separately.
So at delivery, you may be asked to pay the following before your parcel is released:
- VAT (as applies in your country)
- The EU customs charge: EUR3 per product category (rising to about EUR5 from 1 November 2026)
- A small clearance/handling fee charged by the postal service or courier
I want your total cost to be clear from the start, so I'm happy to estimate these charges for a specific item and your country before you purchase.
Just send me the item and your country, and I'll work it out for you. Thank you so much!
