On 1 July 2026, the rules will change for all purchases of up to €150 made by European private individuals from professional sellers based outside the European Union. These changes are imposed by the European Commission and are not a decision taken by Delcampe.
E-commerce goods worth up to €150 are no longer exempt from import duties. A fee of €3 now applies per customs declaration line.
What’s changing for sellers
For all affected transactions, the seller must now provide
- the tax and customs reference provided by Delcampe (IM No. + unique No.).
- the CN code(s) (extended HS) provided by Delcampe depending on the type of item
- their Delcampe account number (the username is not sufficient)
This information is required to ensure customs formalities are processed correctly.
You can find more details on this subject in our Help Centre.
What’s changing for buyers
For transactions up to €150, in addition to import VAT charges, Delcampe will charge a flat fee of €25 per shipment. This amount will replace the 5% administrative fee currently charged.
What does this €25 fee cover?
- The €3 charges per item category levied in accordance with EU27 regulations.
- Additional customs charges applied by the carrier or postal authorities and passed on to Delcampe.
- Internal administrative costs.
