何が起きたのですか？
The European Commission confirmed that, beginning July 1, 2026, it will abolish the existing tax exemption policy (de minimis) for imports valued below €150. This means that all goods entering the EU will be subject to customs duties, which will have a profound impact on cross-border sellers relying on small parcel direct mail models, making logistics and customs processes more stringent.
