Webinar Content

• The mechanics of the interim €3 duty rule: how it is calculated, who it applies to, and what it means for landed costs.
• A confirmed €2 handling fee per parcel, separate from the per-HS-code €3 duty, expected no later than November 2026.
• The NI dimension: what the new rules mean for GB parcels, or parcels from ROW entering Northern Ireland, and the risk of onward movement into the Republic of Ireland under the Windsor Framework.
• A comparison with parallel reforms in the US, where de minimis was removed in August 2025, and the UK, where the £135 threshold removal is planned by March 2029.
• Broader EU customs reforms on the horizon, including the EU Customs Data Hub (2028), the EU Customs Authority, and the permanent duty regime replacing the interim €3 measure.
• Practical steps to prepare, including product classification and identifiers, VAT and duty payment methods, pricing strategy, customs clearance models, and supply chain restructuring.
