Last updated by Daisy on 9 July 2026. (First published 8 July 2026.)
This article is for general information only and is not legal, tax or customs advice.
☞ Overview: A book box is not automatically charged €3 for every object inside the parcel. The issue is whether the contents fall into different customs categories, descriptions and countries of origin. A mixed merchandise box is much more exposed because each different type of item may need its own customs line and separate charges will apply for each line.
