Import fees on beauty orders to the EU
Every EU country charges its own VAT on beauty products ordered from outside the EU, on the item and the shipping. Since 1 July 2026 there is also a flat €3 customs duty on low value parcels. Orders between EU countries have no customs charges and prices already include VAT.
