EU Parcel Tariff for WooCommerce

Since July 1st 2026, Regulation (EU) 2026/382 removes the 150 € customs duty exemption for low-value consignments entering the EU. During the transitional period (until July 1st 2028), a flat 3 € customs duty applies per type of goods in each consignment of up to 150 € shipped from outside the EU customs territory (including Ceuta and Melilla) to EU consumers.

Since November 1st 2026, the same distance sales also bear the Union handling fee of 2 € per type of goods (Article 20 of Regulation (EU) 2026/2108, the new Union Customs Code; amount set by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2152). It is charged on top of the 3 € duty, it is the same in every Member State, it is not temporary, it also applies to consignments above 150 € and it is not refundable.

This affects, among others:

• Stores in Ceuta and Melilla selling to mainland Spain, the Balearic or the Canary Islands — since both cities are outside the EU customs territory, every parcel they send to the rest of Spain is treated as a non-EU import.
• Stores dropshipping from third countries (UK, Norway, Morocco, USA, China, …) to EU customers.
• Non-EU stores selling into the EU on DDP terms (duties paid at checkout instead of on delivery).

If you sell DDP (the customer pays everything at checkout, no surprises on delivery), you need to estimate and collect these charges. That is exactly what this plugin does.

How it works

A “type of goods” is defined by the regulation as goods sharing the same tariff classification (TARIC/HS subheading), description and origin. Three cotton t-shirts = one 3 € duty. A cotton t-shirt + a book = two types = 6 €. Two identical t-shirts made in different countries = two types = 6 €. The 2 € Union handling fee is counted exactly the same way, so with both charges enabled those examples come to 5 €, 10 € and 10 €.

The plugin:

1. Adds an EU Product Type taxonomy where each term maps to a TARIC/HS subheading (a curated starter set of over 100 common e-commerce classifications is included, covering the main HS chapters).
2. Lets you assign a default EU product type per product category, with a per-product override (searchable select) and a per-product country of origin.
3. At checkout, counts the distinct (classification, origin) tuples in the cart and adds N × 3 € as a fee — but only when all the legal conditions are met:
   • You have confirmed your goods ship from outside the EU customs territory.
   • The shipping destination is inside the EU customs territory (Ceuta and Melilla destinations are automatically excluded; the Canary Islands are included, as the regulation applies there).
   • The goods value does not exceed 150 €.
   • The date is within the transitional window (July 1st 2026 – July 1st 2028), configurable in case of extension.
4. When enabled, adds the Union handling fee (N × 2 €) as a separate fee line, under the same dispatch and destination conditions, from November 1st 2026 with no end date and — by default — whatever the goods value. Amount, start and end dates, the “above 150 €” behaviour and the checkout label are all configurable.

Developer friendly

Filters available: eupt_duty_amount, eupt_is_applicable, eupt_goods_types_count, eupt_fee_args, and for the Union handling fee eupt_handling_fee_amount (receives the destination country), eupt_handling_fee_is_applicable and eupt_handling_fee_args. eupt_current_time lets you override the timestamp used for the validity windows. HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatible.

Disclaimer

This plugin provides an estimate of the flat customs duty and of the Union handling fee for DDP-style checkouts. It is not legal or tax advice. The merchant remains responsible for the correct tariff classification of their goods (see the official EU TARIC database) and for the declaration and payment of duties.
