  • The $800 duty-free allowance ended on 29 August 2025. A parcel is no longer exempt just for being cheap.
  • Couriers add their own brokerage fee on top. It varies by carrier, so it is not included here.
  • Customs processing fees are not included.

What changed, and when

These rules moved four times in a year. That is why every result above carries the date it was calculated on.

  1. The US $800 duty-free allowance ends

    Low-value parcels stop being exempt. Everything entering the US becomes dutiable, whatever it cost.

  2. The Supreme Court strikes down the IEEPA tariffs

    A temporary Section 122 surcharge of 10% replaces them while a permanent answer is worked out.

  3. The EU drops its €150 exemption

    Parcels under €150 now pay a flat €3 instead of nothing, charged per product category, not per parcel.

  4. Section 122 expires, Section 301 replaces it

    New forced-labour tariffs of 10% or 12.5% cover 60 economies. Unlike the surcharge, this one has no end date. EU goods get a combined 10% ceiling rather than a surcharge on top.

  5. Not in force yet

    A Union-wide customs handling fee starts

    The EU adds its own handling charge on top of whatever the carrier already bills. Not counted in the estimates above.
