Since 1 July, every parcel into the EU carries duty from the first euro. See your real cost per order both ways, whether you sell into the EU today or you are planning your move.
Your orders a month, order value and what you ship. Defaults come from published rates, and you can change any of them.
Shipping each order in from abroad, versus holding stock in the EU. Duty, freight, storage and returns, all counted.
On a quick call we run it on your actual product codes and top sellers, so the figure is yours, not an average.
Charged per product type in the parcel, from the first euro. Holding EU stock pays duty once on the bulk import instead.
These are defaults from published rates (sources in the footer), set from your category and origin. Change any of them and the numbers above update. Duty is charged on customs value (landed cost), not your retail price, which is why it is lower than the headline rate.
For years the cheapest way to sell into Europe was to ship each order straight in from outside the EU. On 1 July 2026 that ended. Every parcel now carries duty from the first euro, per product type, plus stacking national fees. Hold stock in an EU bonded warehouse instead and you clear duty once on the bulk import, ship local in a few days, and stop bleeding per-parcel. That is the model Kennis runs for brands like yours out of the Rotterdam-Antwerp corridor: importer of record, EU VAT handled, one partner, since 1926.
This runs on standard rates. Your exact duty depends on your product codes, and it varies a lot by product. On a quick call, Rakesh maps the real landed cost and ROI on your top sellers, so the number is actually yours.
