- EU €150 de minimis was abolished on 2026-07-01. The temporary replacement is a €3 duty per tariff-classified item type; DutyVAT policy illustrations group tracked tariff-classification lines as an implementation interpretation.
- Italy: €2 administrative contribution per qualifying shipment under Law No. 199/2025, article 1, paragraphs 126-128. Law No. 88/2026, article 5, provides that it does not apply to goods imported before 1 July 2026.
- France: the €2 small-parcel tax (TPC) applied from 1 March through 30 June 2026 and was suspended from 1 July 2026 when the EU temporary customs duty took effect. DutyVAT does not model it as a current recipient fee.
- Romania: RON 25 (≈ €5) logistics fee per parcel, active since 1 January 2026, under Law No. 239/2025 (published in Official Journal no. 1160). Applies to qualifying distance-sale parcels entering Romania from outside the EU with declared value below €150.
- US: Section 321 duty-free de minimis suspended globally for covered shipments effective 29 August 2025 (EO 14324). Calculator estimates base HTS duty; treat as a floor. International postal items follow separate duty mechanics (Feb 2026 Proclamation), and origin/Section 301 surcharges are not modeled.
- Proposed EU-wide handling fee: separate from the €3 customs duty and not yet adopted. The amount and application date remain to be determined. DutyVAT will not model this fee until it is formally adopted.
