EU customs: handling fee and product identifiers apply from 1 November

The EUR 2 Union handling fee per item category and PID requirements apply to the imports concerned.

Applicable from 1 November 2026; DPP requirements remain sector-specific.

Two requirements

Regulation 2026/2152 sets the handling fee. Commission guidance explains PIDs for distance sales of imported goods with an intrinsic value not exceeding EUR 150.

Operational impact

Affected operators need to coordinate costs, declarations and identifiers with sellers, manufacturers and customs representatives.
