EU import duty shown clearly at checkout
From 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2028, a temporary EUR 3 duty per item applies to specified consignments with an intrinsic value up to EUR 150 (Regulation (EU) 2026/382, Article 2). Customs helps you show an estimate as a separate line in the cart and checkout. It is based on your settings, not a customs decision.
Works with: WooCommerce, Cart & Checkout Blocks, HPOS, Storefront, Astra, Multisite

Surprise customs charges hurt the buying experience
When a parcel is subject to customs charges, the shopper may only learn about the extra cost on delivery. Customs helps estimate the duty before payment and show it as a separate cart line.
- ✗ The 150 EUR threshold is removed on 1 July 2026
- ✗ A temporary EUR 3 rate applies to specified consignments with an intrinsic value up to EUR 150 (Regulation (EU) 2026/382, Article 2)
- ✗ Extra costs surface only at delivery
- ✗ Lost trust and abandoned carts

Frequently asked questions
When does the EUR 3 duty apply?
From 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2028, Regulation (EU) 2026/382, Article 2, provides for a duty per item in a consignment with an intrinsic value up to EUR 150 only where the import is exempt from VAT on the terms set out in that article or the goods are in a postal consignment. Under the amended definition in Article 1(24) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446, a postal consignment excludes goods exempt from VAT on that basis and goods covered by preferential measures (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1022). This is not a rule for every parcel from outside the EU. Customs does not handle IOSS or determine a parcel's legal eligibility; the merchant configures the amount and threshold.
How is the duty calculated?
The number of distinct tariff lines in the cart times your per-line amount (3 EUR by default). Out of the box lines are grouped by product category, so two products from the same category count as one line and a parcel spanning several categories counts as several. Switch the counting basis to per product, or set a tariff code on individual products, when your catalogue needs a finer split. An item is goods sharing the same tariff classification, description and, where the declaration requires it, origin (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446, Article 1(61)). The plugin models the tariff classification part only, so its estimate can be lower than the duty charged.
Does it work with the Cart and Checkout Blocks?
Yes. The duty is added through the native WooCommerce fees API, so it appears in both the classic checkout and the Blocks checkout, and it is HPOS compatible.
Is the amount exact?
It is an estimate based on your settings. Final duties are determined by customs at import. From 1 November 2026, a separate EUR 2 per-item Union handling fee applies (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2152, Article 1, and Regulation (EU) 2026/2108, Article 20(2)); the plugin does not add it.
Can I sell in a currency other than EUR?
Yes. Set the EUR to store-currency rate in the settings and the duty is converted before it is added.
Does Customs fetch the current euro exchange rate?
No. In the free plugin you enter the EUR rate in the settings. Customs Pro can replace it with the ECB daily reference rate.
Can shipment data in Customs be exported to CSV?
Yes. Export a CSV for one order or bulk-export selected orders from the WooCommerce admin.
How does Customs compare to Zonos Duty and Tax and EU/UK VAT Compliance?
Customs is a lightweight, 100% free and self-contained plugin for calculating the EU flat 3 EUR import duty under Council Regulation 2026/382 without cloud APIs or recurring fees. Zonos is an enterprise global duty calculation service with monthly subscription and transaction charges, while EU/UK VAT Compliance handles VAT identification rather than customs duty calculation. Pricing as of June 2026.
