> Starting November 1, the European Union will charge a 2-euro handling fee on e-commerce shipments from non-EU countries over 150 euros.

Starting November 1, the **European Union** will introduce a new 2-euro handling fee for e-commerce deliveries from non-EU countries. This fee applies to shipments with a goods value exceeding 150 euros and is charged per product category within the shipment.

The fee joins a 3-euro flat-rate customs duty for small shipments under 150 euros introduced on July 1. In **Austria**, a national parcel tax of 2.40 euros also applies. These measures follow a 30 percent drop in Far East parcel volume recorded this past August.

The **EU Commission** estimates 65 percent of the 5.9 billion small parcels arriving in 2025 were undervalued. Furthermore, 60 percent failed safety standards. **Retail Association** Director **Rainer Will** notes these fees aim to address widespread misdeclaration.
