Reps customs in European Union
Since 1 July 2026 there is no €150 duty-free limit in the EU any more. Until 1 July 2028 a flat customs duty of €3 per item applies to parcels worth up to €150, and 'item' means each type of goods (tariff line), not each piece: five T-shirts are €3, a T-shirt and a watch are €6. VAT has been due on every import since 1 July 2021. Small parcels with fake branded goods can be destroyed: customs tell you first and you have 10 working days to object.

Preguntas
¿Pago aduana por reps enviadas a la UE?
Desde el 1 de julio de 2026 ya no existe el límite libre de aranceles de €150 en la UE.
¿Qué pasa si la aduana de la UE retiene un paquete con falsos?
Un envío pequeño es un paquete postal o de mensajería con tres unidades o menos, o de menos de 2 kg. La aduana te avisa dentro de un día hábil y dice que tiene intención de destruir los productos; tienes 10 días hábiles para dar tu opinión. Si no respondes a tiempo, la aduana puede tomarlo como acuerdo de destrucción. Si te opones, el dueño de la marca debe iniciar acciones judiciales dentro de 10 días hábiles, o los productos se liberan. La regla que deja en paz los productos no comerciales aplica solo al equipaje de los viajeros, no a los paquetes.
