How Heavy for Western Europeans Is the Burden of the 3 EUR Customs Duty Will Become Clear in the Fall

 

“After the abolition of the low-value consignments exemption in the European Union (EU) in July, those whose value does not exceed 150 EUR will have to pay customs duty.

 

The additional 3 EUR fee will be calculated for each different type of goods in the consignment.

 

Customs says that it does not expect either an increase in the load on the systems or the amount of work, and for now, parcel services are also calmly looking at the situation. However, the real impact of the change will, it is said, become clear in the fall.

 

The change in the EU customs system was necessary after it was noticed that the de minimis exception, based on which goods from third countries whose value does not exceed 150 EUR were taxed only with VAT, was being exploited to the detriment of the Community.”

 

What is also to the detriment of the Community? According to the elite of the EU – everything that makes life of people in the EU cheaper, easier, safer and more prosperous. You can figure out easily what will happen to the elite of the EU during next elections. Just look at recent elections in America and UK.
