From July 1st countries in the European Union no longer have the import tax exempt of 150 Euros. This means that on top of the sales tax (value added tax) the EU plans to implement a system to raise an import tax on all goods coming in from outside of the EU. That system though isn’t gonna be in place yet and until late 2027 the plan is to charge a fee of 3 euro that gets charged per category. So on top of taxes that amount will be charged. If you order 1 or 5 cd’s you pay just that 3 EUR as it are items in the same category. If you order one cd, one cassette and one photobook, 9 EUR will be charged as that are three categories. These charges will be raised by your local postal service, likely with the method they always used to charge you taxes.
