Biggest international trade killer to date, the work around is to put up a listing for a dollar on ebay and use them as the pass through using their global shipping. Small business trade to Europe will essentially be stopped dead from this. I spent about 20 minutes going through the different requirements/filings and saw initial costs... forget it.

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. Helmut Gesendet: Dienstag, 25.

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.

This fee is due for every single EU country.
