Temu EU Import Fees (2026)
Since July 1, 2026, all Temu orders shipped to EU countries include a new €3 customs duty per item, plus import VAT.
How Temu Handles EU Fees
Based on general industry reporting, Temu typically uses the IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) system, which allows non-EU sellers to collect VAT (and from July 2026, the customs flat fee) directly at checkout. This means you should see the total cost before you complete your purchase, rather than being surprised by a carrier surcharge upon delivery.
⚠ Caveat: This is based on general industry reporting as of July 2026. Platform checkout flows change frequently and may vary by country and order type. Always verify the exact fee breakdown shown at checkout before completing a purchase.

Why is Temu charging extra fees in 2026?
The EU abolished its €150 customs duty exemption on 1 July 2026. This means all e-commerce orders from non-EU sellers (including Temu) now attract a €3 customs duty per item, plus import VAT at your country's rate.
Does Temu include the customs fee in the checkout price?
According to general industry reporting, Temu uses the IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) system, which means it typically collects VAT and customs fees at checkout. You should see these fees itemised before payment. However, this may vary by country and order — always check your checkout total carefully.
Will my Temu package be held at customs?
If the seller has paid the customs duty via IOSS, the parcel should clear customs without being held. However, if fees are unpaid or incorrectly declared, your national postal service may contact you for additional payment before delivery.
How do I calculate my Temu order cost to Germany?
For a €20 Temu order to Germany (19% VAT): €20 declared value + €3 customs fee + €4.37 VAT (19% × €23) = €27.37 total. Use our calculator above for any value or country.
