You sell into the EU from outside it. The duty, the VAT, who files the declaration — it all moved this year. DutyVault works out the real number, and tells you plainly when it isn't sure.
The €150 duty-free threshold is gone. A flat €3 replaced it — but only if you're on IOSS or postal. A courier parcel without IOSS can owe the full tariff instead.
Customs data must carry three product identifiers per line. A valid barcode alone isn't "ready" — it just looks ready. Missing ones trigger holds.
The reform makes the seller the "deemed importer" — liable for the duty, the VAT, and getting the classification right. Not law yet, but coming.
What does this parcel actually owe — €3 route and full-tariff route, side by side.

Open →A compliance tool that guesses confidently is worse than none. Every free tool here was audited for one thing: does it tell you the truth when it isn't sure, instead of a comforting wrong answer.
The customs codes come from reasoning you can see, checked against the actual regulations — never invented to fill a blank.
