Dear Customers,
We'd like to let you know about an important change coming to EU shipments starting July 1, 2026.
What's Changing?
Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union will remove the €150 customs duty exemption threshold.
This means:
-
All shipments to EU countries may be subject to customs duties, regardless of order value.
-
In addition to duties, VAT will continue to apply as before under EU regulations.
-
Depending on the shipping method, duties may be either pre-collected at checkout or collected upon delivery by local customs.
Orders placed from June 24, 2026, onwards may be affected due to international transit time and customs processing schedules.
How This Affects Your Order
The impact on your order depends on the shipping method you choose:
| Shipping Method | Shipping Cost | Duties & VAT |
| Yanwen Logistics ⭐ |
Includes prepaid duties & VAT
|
All prepaid — no extra payment upon delivery |
| DHL / EMS / EYouBao / SAL / Chinese Air | Unchanged | All orders are now subject to duties — collected by local customs or carrier upon delivery (the €150 exemption no longer applies) |
We recommend Yanwen Logistics for a hassle-free experience with everything settled upfront — what you see at checkout is your final price.
Special Note for Yanwen Orders Placed Before June 24, 2026:
Orders placed before June 24 through Yanwen may also reach EU customs after the new rules take effect, depending on transit time. Don't worry — if any additional customs duties or VAT are incurred, 42Lolita will cover the cost. You won't need to pay anything extra.
