What is the €3 and €2 fee for every different type of product for parcels from outside the EU?

If you shop online from a website where orders are processed outside the European Union and your purchase is worth up to €150, the following fees apply: 

  • From 1 July 2026: €3 import fee for every different type of product 
  • From 1 November 2026: €2 European handling fee for every different type of product 

These fees are part of new EU import rules for shipments arriving from outside the European Union.

This fee is not charged per item or per parcel, but per type of product in your shipment.

Examples:

  • 2 identical pairs of trousers → €3 + €2 = €5
  • 1 pair of trousers + 1 pair of shoes → €6 + 2x €2 = €10
  • 2 T-shirts with different fabrics (cotton, silk) → €6 + 2x €2 = €10

Important: This fee is non-refundable, even if you return the product.
