Importing into European Union: what you need

Customs is run by each member state (Zoll in Germany, Douane in France, Agencja Celna in Poland) under the Union Customs Code; rates come from the Common Customs Tariff and TARIC.

Registration. An EORI number issued by the member state where the importer is established. Non-EU sellers either appoint an indirect customs representative or ship DDP through a carrier that acts as declarant.

Low-value shipments. Goods worth €150 or less were duty-free until 30 June 2026. Since 1 July 2026 a flat €3 customs duty applies to each tariff heading in a low-value parcel sold through IOSS (Council Regulation (EU) 2026/382), until normal duties take over in July 2028. VAT is due from the first euro, collected at checkout under IOSS or at import.

Documents customs will ask for

  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list
  • Bill of lading or air waybill
  • Proof of origin for preferential rates (statement on origin or REX statement)
  • Import licence or certificate where the product is regulated

Charges on top of duty

  • Import VAT at the rate of the member state of import (17–27%)
  • Excise on alcohol, tobacco and energy products
  • Anti-dumping duties on specific product/origin pairs (TARIC additional codes)
  • CBAM certificates for iron, steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers and hydrogen above the 50-tonne annual threshold

Watch out. VAT, not duty, is usually the bigger number β€” a 3% duty on a €10,000 shipment is €300, while 20% VAT on the duty-paid value is over €2,100. VAT-registered importers recover it; consumers do not.
