Important EU Changes...
From July 1st a few things are changing when sending items to the EU - but you can still send gifts to friends and family, with a couple of updates to keep in mind.

✅ Gifts valued at €45 or less:
Personal gifts up to €45 will continue to be duty-free. You’ll just need to include customs data as you do today.

✅ Gifts between €45 and €150:
These will now attract a flat €3 customs duty per different item in your parcel. Handling Fees will be charged.

✅ Gifts above €150:
No changes here - the same duties and processes as today will continue to apply.
