The U-Freight Group reports that EU importers and e-commerce businesses are adjusting their shipping strategies due to the EU's removal of the €150 duty-free threshold, effective July 1, 2026. Under the new rules, low-value shipments face a €3 customs charge per commodity code. This change is part of a broader customs reform aimed at modernizing procedures and preventing undervaluation of goods. U-Freight suggests that businesses should consider regional inventory fulfillment in Europe to reduce costs and improve delivery efficiency, while adapting to these new regulations.
