Italy has enacted legislation postponing the EUR 2 administrative handling fee on imports below EUR 150 to 1 October 2026, aligning the measure with the EU’s planned EUR 3 customs duty on low-value e-commerce parcels.
Italy has published Law No. 152 of 7 August 2026 in the Official Gazette, which converts Decree-Law No. 107 of 26 June 2026 into law, incorporating the amendments set out in its annex. The legislation formally postpones the introduction of the EUR 2 administrative handling fee on low-value imports below EUR 150 to 1 October 2026.
Law No. 152 entered into force on 21 August 2026.
Earlier, Italy’s Council of Ministers postponed the EUR 2 administrative handling fee on imports below EUR 150 for a further three months. Originally scheduled for 1 July 2026, the fee was set to take effect on 1 October 2026.
