Beginning January 1, 2021, the below changes will apply to the importation of low value consignments into the European Union (EU):
- It will be possible to declare goods up to 150€ using a customs declaration that requires 3 times less data than a standard declaration; and
- The existing VAT exemption for goods up to 22€ will disappear. This will allow VAT to be levied all imports into the EU when declared at the border using an electronic customs declaration.
