What this means for EU orders
Since 1 July 2026, parcels worth €150 or less sent to EU consumers pay a flat €3 customs duty per item, where an item is goods sharing one tariff classification. Several of the same socks in one order usually count once (€3). Add a different kind of product and it is another €3.
From 1 November 2026 the declaration also needs product identifiers: your SKU, a manufacturer reference, and a barcode (GTIN/EAN) if the product has one. Handmade goods without a barcode are declared with the "no standard identifier" code.
Where to put the code
- Shopify: on each product under Customs information, or in bulk via Settings → Taxes and duties → Duties and import taxes → Product information → Update with CSV.
- Etsy: on the customs form when you buy a shipping label, or in your label software's product settings.
- WooCommerce: in your shipping or customs plugin's product field.
