New customs fee will make that cheap purchase from outside the EU more expensive
From July 1st a new customs fee will be introduced for products ordered from outside the European Union, which could significantly rack up the cost of your small purchase. For packages worth less than 150 euros a fee of three euros per product will be added, according to Swedish Customs. The new EU rules, which are to be applied across the union, are supposed to stop products that don't meet the EU's safety requirements, and to create healthier competition for companies inside the EU.
