Important EU Update: De Minimis Tax Changes Now Reflected in Our Shipping

Understanding the New EU De Minimis Rule

The European Union has recently implemented changes to its de minimis shopping tax regulations. The de minimis threshold, which previously allowed certain low-value shipments to enter the EU without customs duties and VAT, has been modified.

Under the new rules, the threshold for duty-free and VAT-free imports has been significantly lowered. This means that shipments that were previously exempt from these charges may now be subject to additional fees. The EU has implemented these changes to create a more level playing field for both online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar businesses operating within the union.

How This Affects Your Orders

To avoid any surprises at checkout, I have updated all shipping costs to the EU to reflect these new de minimis tax requirements. When you purchase from me and select EU delivery, the price you see now includes the necessary adjustments to comply with these regulations.

By incorporating these changes directly into my pricing, I'm able to provide you with a clear, all-inclusive cost upfront. There will be no hidden fees or unexpected charges when your ceramic companions arrive at your doorstep.
