Every figure on DutyRight can be traced back to a public official source. We keep the links below so you can verify any number yourself — the whole point of an audit is that you can check the math.
The legal basis for the temporary flat duty on low-value consignments (≤ €150) entering the EU, €3 per declaration line until 1 July 2028.
Official Q&A and legal text on how the flat fee applies: per declaration line, merging same HS code + product description + origin, and what happens when the fee ends in 2028.
The consolidated EU customs tariff we use as the reference for HS classification and rates. Product Identifiers (PIDs: mPID / nsPID), mandatory on declarations from 1 November 2026 under (EU) 2026/1022, are also declared via TARIC.
For how IOSS and Shopify's duties-and-import-taxes collection interact. The key fact our audit depends on: IOSS covers VAT only — it never covers the €3/€5 duty or the €2 Union Handling Fee.
DutyRight is a reference tool for Shopify sellers shipping low-value parcels to the EU. It is not a customs broker and not legal advice. Actual duty outcomes depend on the customs declaration (HS code, product description, country of origin), carrier handling and border officers' assessment. Always defer to the official sources above — and for high-value shipments, work with a licensed customs broker.
The calculator on this site shows the EU flat-rate rule vs platform-style line billing for illustration. It does not auto-apply every ad valorem scenario, and it never replaces an official customs calculation.
