Estonia will begin applying a €3 customs duty to each item within packages arriving from countries outside the European Union on July 1st. The new tax applies per-item, meaning a single package containing multiple goods will incur multiple charges. This measure is expected to impact consumers who frequently purchase products from outside the EU. Estonian authorities have not yet detailed how the tax will be collected, but it will likely be handled by customs brokers or delivery services. The change aims to level the playing field for Estonian and EU-based businesses, who already factor VAT into their pricing. The government anticipates increased revenue from the new duty, though the exact amount remains unclear. Consumers are advised to factor this additional cost when ordering goods from third countries.
