The EU Commission proposes to abolish the duty-free regime – it will become more expensive to order small goods from outside the EU
The European Commission proposes to abolish the duty-free regime for online stores outside the EU as of 1 March 2028. The abolition of the duty-free regime would impact consumers, as ordering low-value small goods from outside the EU would become more expensive in the future. Finnish stores would benefit from the removal of the duty-free regime, as the unfair competitive advantage for companies outside the EU would disappear. The abolition of the duty-free regime would also effectively address fraud.
