Changes to import duties, taxes and fees of postal services to Canada, Norway and the United Kingdom

From 1 July 2026, Zonos® will also support the calculation, collection and remittance of duties, taxes and fees (“landed costs”) for shipments to Canada, Norway and the United Kingdom. The duty-free thresholds for gifts remain the same for these countries:

  • Canada: CAD60

  • Threshold: £135 or less per consignment (excluding transport and insurance costs).
Upcoming Changes & Phasing Out
Like the United States and the European Union, the UK is heavily reforming its low-value import rules. [1, 2]
  • Phase-out: The UK government has moved to officially abolish the £135 customs-free threshold entirely.
  • Timeline: The £135 relief will come to an end on October 1, 2028, pulling forward the previously planned phase-out date


Changes to import duties, taxes and fees of postal services to the European Union

The European Union (EU) has announced customs and import Value Added Tax (VAT) changes effective 1 July 2026, impacting postal sending to all EU member states.

Similar to the US, Zonos® will support the calculation, collection and remittance of duties, taxes and fees ("landed costs") that are now applicable to EU-bound shipments.

What’s changing

The EU is removing the EUR150 de minimis (free) threshold that has previously allowed low-value goods to pass into the EU free of customs duty. 

From 1 July 2026, all items sent to the EU, except for gifts valued below EUR45, will be subject to customs duty and VAT:

  • Parcels valued under EUR150:  VAT will apply to the parcel, along with a flat-rate customs duty fee of EUR3 per item.
  • Parcels valued over EUR150: the existing customs duty and tax processes will continue to apply. 

This customs duty fee of EUR3 will apply per item, not per parcel – the fee will be charged for every distinct different HS code item in your parcel. Under the EU’s Delegated Regulation, an ‘item’ is defined as goods in a parcel that share the same HS tariff code, item description and (where required) country of origin.

A parcel with three goods that differ on any of those criteria - and therefore classified as three distinct items - will be charged EUR9, not EUR3. For example:
