EU Low-Value Parcels: Compliance Readiness Guide

🔐 A practical guide to the €2 handling fee, €3 customs duty and product identifier requirements for low-value e-commerce consignments.

About This Guide

From 1 November 2026, new requirements affecting low-value consumer parcels entering the EU are scheduled to introduce a €2 handling fee alongside the €3 customs duty described in the Customs Watch EU, Edition 37. The new product identifier requirements also create an operational challenge for businesses and logistics providers handling these consignments.

This PRO Practical Guide helps trade compliance and e-commerce teams translate these changes into operational readiness. It provides a structured framework for reviewing product data, declaration processes, carrier integrations and customer pricing ahead of implementation.

Through five practical steps, readers can identify affected shipments, assess data readiness, review customs declaration workflows, evaluate potential cost impacts and establish controls for handling incomplete information before dispatch.
