From 1 July 2026 the EU removes the 150 EUR duty-free threshold for low-value imports and applies a flat customs duty per tariff line on consignments up to 150 EUR shipped into the EU from outside it. Customs estimates that duty and shows it to the shopper as its own line at cart and checkout, so there are no surprise charges on delivery.
It only adds the duty when all of these are true: the feature is enabled, the store ships from outside the EU, the destination is an EU country, and the cart goods value is at or below your threshold. Intra-EU orders and orders over the threshold are left untouched.
What it does:
- Adds an “EU import duty (estimate)” fee at cart and checkout using the native WooCommerce fees API
- Calculates the duty as the number of distinct tariff lines in the cart multiplied by your per-line amount
- Counts tariff lines from a per-product tariff code, falling back to the product category, then the product
- Works in the classic checkout and the Cart and Checkout Blocks, and is HPOS compatible
- Per-line amount, threshold, store origin country, EUR conversion rate, tariff-line basis, fee label and taxable flag are all configurable
- Adds taxes on top: the duty is shown as its own line in addition to VAT
This is the WooCommerce equivalent of the import duty handling that hosted platforms add at checkout, without a monthly subscription.
