Mrs Ann Newman-Young

A good value parcel

Very good found a very good price to return an item to India and was kept informed along the way and when it was delivered from the parcel company.

Wayne Johns

Couldn't have gone smoother.

Service was impeccable. Driver turned up to collect at correct time, despite potentially being a difficult place to find within the hospital. Driver was very smart and polite. Tracking was updated regularly and delivery on date as expected.

We're helping UK businesses sell and export to the EU

Sending to the EU is not as simple as it was. All goods now travel through customs and there is no longer a de-minimis VAT exemption threshold of €22, which means all goods, no matter their value, are taxable.

Sending parcels to the EU has got more expensive and more data-heavy this year. Here is what you need to know.

1 July 2026: the EU introduced a flat €3 customs duty on most business-to-consumer (B2C) parcels worth €150 or less. The old duty-free treatment for low-value parcels has ended.

1 November 2026: three more changes arrive.

  1. A new €2 EU handling fee per item, on top of the €3 duty.

  2. Mandatory Product Identifiers (PIDs) for every item in a B2C parcel, whatever its value.

  3. The new €2 handling fee applies to parcels over €150 too, although the €3 duty introduced in July does not.

Gifts: genuine personal gifts worth €45 or under, sent from one person to another, are still exempt from the €3 duty.

What's next? The EU is calling the current rules temporary. A full customs reform, including the removal of the €150 threshold, is expected around mid 2028.

If your business has registered for the EU's Import one stop shop (IOSS) then you can charge your customer VAT at the point of sale, so the courier does not need to charge it at the point of delivery. Simply enter your IOSS number during the booking process.

No matter what country in the European Union you’re selling to, Parcelhero makes navigating customs far easier.
