EUCBT (EU Cross-Border Trade) is a plain-English news and guide site for online sellers outside the European Union who ship to customers inside it.
EU import rules are changing faster than they have in decades. The €150 duty exemption for low-value parcels has ended, new handling fees and data requirements are arriving, and a wider customs reform runs through 2028. Most of the official material is written for customs specialists. We translate it for shop owners, marketplace sellers and the people who run their logistics.
What we cover
- Customs & Duties: what you pay at the border and when
- VAT & IOSS: how EU VAT works on your orders
- Shipping & Logistics: carriers, DDP vs DAP, returns
- Rule Tracker: a dated list of upcoming changes
- Seller Guides: practical checklists you can act on
- Contributor Insights: articles from customs brokers, logistics firms and trade advisers
How we work
Every rule, date and amount we publish is checked against official sources such as the European Commission, EUR-Lex and national customs authorities, and we link to them so you can verify. Each article shows when it was last updated. Contributor articles are reviewed before publishing, and sponsored content is always labelled. Read our editorial policy.
EUCBT publishes general information, not legal, tax or customs advice. For decisions about your business, talk to a qualified customs broker or tax adviser.
EUCBT is part of The OWRAY Group.
