From 1 July 2026, a flat €3 customs duty applies to most parcels under €150 entering Germany, administered by German customs (Zoll), as part of the EU-wide reform.

We have not identified evidence of a Germany-specific national handling fee, unlike France and Italy. We’ll update this if that changes.

Yes, German VAT continues to apply to imports as before — the EU threshold change relates to customs duty, not VAT.

Yes — we support white-label sourcing and custom packaging for buyers looking to bring Indian-made products to the German market under their own brand.
Are there products you can’t ship to Germany?
