That is yet another issue. In addition, you also have to register your packing material with the German LUCID system. It is not expensive, but needs to be done. Right now, it appears that Germany is the only EU country that enforces the new Packing Regulations, but in the foreseeable future you will be required to pay an agent in every single one of the 27 EU countries you want to ship to. As stated, for Austria this would be more than €400 a year.
 
Needless to say, sellers who ship through the ebay GSP, etsy, or Amazon are not affected. Nobody wants to hurt the corporations, it's the small sellers they want to give up.

I just received this through my mailing account manager

 

Both Germany and Denmark now require duties to be paid upfront, and on postal shipments the only way to prepay is through your Verified Account. A package shipped without your Verified Account, but with your marketplace IOSS, arrives as an IOSS shipment with no duties prepaid and may be rejected upon import.

 

So, they seem to be saying that duties need to be paid by the sender. This is already the case with shipments to the US from Australia. We have to pay the tariff when lodging the package.

The new EU Packing Regulation is now effect, which means that small businesses like mine cannot ship anything to any of the other 26 EU countries anymore unless they pay several hundred Euro a year to get their package material 'licensed'. This fee is due for every single EU country.
