17th June 2026: Trade Series: The End of EU De Minimis Threshold on Small Parcels

Watch our webinar covering the removal of the EU De Minimis threshold on small parcels hosted by Brian Murphy of Global Trade.

Webinar Content

  • The mechanics of the interim €3 duty rule: how it is calculated, who it applies to, and what it means for landed costs.
  • A handling fee per item (fee TBC), separate from the per-HS-code €3 duty, expected no later than November 2026.
  • The NI dimension: what the new rules mean for GB parcels, or parcels from ROW entering Northern Ireland and the risk of onward movement into the Republic of Ireland under the Windsor Framework.
  • A comparison with parallel reforms in the US, where de minimis was removed in August 2025, and the UK, where the £135 threshold removal is planned by March 2029.
  • Broader EU customs reforms on the horizon, including the EU Customs Data Hub (2028), the EU Customs Authority, and the permanent duty regime replacing the interim €3 measure.
  • Practical steps to prepare, including product classification and identifiers, VAT and duty payment methods, pricing strategy, customs clearance models, and supply chain restructuring.
