EU Tax Reform Effective July 1, 2026
Dear Customer,
Please be advised that the new EU tax regime will officially take effect on July 1, 2026. All parcels arriving in the EU on or after this date will be subject to the new duty, which is in addition to the existing VAT.
Following the upgrade of the Customizingbox system, we are writing to synchronize the following key updates:
1.Billing Start Date
Effective from 00:00, June 20, 2026 (Beijing Time), the new tariff billing will be activated for all EU shipping routes.
2.Billing Method
A flat fee of €3 per parcel will be charged. This applies regardless of whether the parcel contains single or multiple items (i.e., a flat rate per package).
(Note: Customizingbox will adjust the rate in real-time based on currency exchange rate fluctuations, refreshing every 30 minutes.)
3.Policy Updates
Regarding this tax reform, Customizingbox will continue to closely monitor EU policy changes. Should there be any further updates, we will make adjustments accordingly.
4.Support
