Post-Brexit customs were complicated enough. Since July 2026 there is a new layer — here is what UK senders pay now.
Since Brexit, the UK is a third country for EU customs purposes — so the EU's new small-parcel regime applies to every UK–EU consignment. From 1 July 2026 that means a flat €3 duty per customs line on parcels up to €150; from 1 November 2026 a €2 Union Handling Fee per parcel; plus import VAT at the destination country's rate. France adds a further €2 national surcharge.
