New EU Customs Fee: Up to EUR 15 per Package from July - 2FDeal Pays It for You

Starting July 1, 2026, the European Union is rolling out a new customs duty policy that affects all cross-border packages entering the EU. If you have been wondering whether your orders will cost more - here is everything you need to know.

The short answer: For 2FDeal customers, nothing changes on your end.

The Bottom Line: 2FDeal Has Already Taken Care of It

2FDeal already covers the IOSS fee (EU VAT service) for you, so you never have to worry about EU Value Added Tax paperwork when placing an order.

Now, with the upcoming EU customs duty change, 2FDeal will absorb the new duty costs as well - with corresponding adjustments to the shipping structure where necessary. You simply place your order as usual and wait for your package to arrive.

The duty, the customs clearance, the paperwork - it is all on us.

Shop with confidence at 2FDeal.

What Is Changing? In Simple Terms

Before	After (Starting July 1, 2026)
Packages valued under EUR 150 were exempt from customs duty	All packages now incur a flat EUR 3 duty per product category, regardless of value

Two important details:

If your package contains items from multiple product categories, each category is taxed separately (e.g., an atomizer + coils = 2 categories = EUR 6)

No exemptions apply - even packages processed through IOSS are subject to this duty

A second phase follows on July 1, 2028, when the flat EUR 3 per category is replaced by standard tariff rates. We will update you when that happens.

Note: The EU has not yet published the official product classification rules. The estimates below are based on reasonable assumptions. 2FDeal will provide a full breakdown as soon as the EU releases its official guidelines.

What This Means for Your Wallet: EUR 0 Extra

The new duty is charged by EU customs - and 2FDeal covers it for you.

What You Order	Estimated EU Duty	What You Pay
1 atomizer / mod	~EUR 3	EUR 0
Atomizer + coils + cotton	~EUR 9	EUR 0
A full setup with accessories	~EUR 9-15	EUR 0

All you need to do - place your order, pay, and wait for delivery. That is it.

Why Is the EU Making This Change?

Three reasons:

1. A growing tax gap - Billions of euros in customs revenue were being lost annually through the EUR 150 exemption loophole

2. Fair competition - EU-based businesses pay full taxes; cross-border packages did not. This levels the playing field

3. Tighter e-commerce regulation - The EU has been progressively tightening cross-border e-commerce rules for years

This change has been expected for some time. It is not targeted at any specific market or product type.

IOSS vs. Customs Duty - What Is the Difference?

Many customers ask: is IOSS the same as customs duty? Here is a quick explanation:

Fee Type	What It Covers	2FDeal's Policy
IOSS (VAT)	EU Value Added Tax	Already covered by 2FDeal
New Customs Duty (EUR 3/category)	Customs tariff, separate from VAT	Will be absorbed by 2FDeal

They are two separate charges under different regulations, and 2FDeal has made arrangements for both.
