The agreement would eliminate the 150 euro customs threshold, equivalent to $174, below which shipments are exempt for paying duties in 2028, dependent on the successful completion of a centralized EU customs data hub that would replace fragmented national systems for processing trade flows. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/euro...3351512.html Report this Post to the Staff

Freespeech57 Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 11/13/2025 4:34 pm Yet another step in the end of a "free trade system" and the evolving trade and tariff wars. A lose-lose for all. Report this Post to the Staff
joe_77 Valued Member Italy 284 Posts	Posted 11/14/2025 3:11 pm Well, that status doesn't really exist in my country anyway. Sounds like they are making it official! Customs inspect random parcels, if they think they are needing import taxes they would simply charge them plus a hefty "we took trouble dealing with your parcel" fee. I got duties charged even for $5 items. Future looks grim for "globalized" buyers! It will just be impossible to get nice deal abroad. Report this Post to the Staff
