Royal Mail has launched the solution in response to the new EU customs regime, which on 1 July introduced a flat \u20ac3 customs duty on most business-to-consumer parcels valued under \u20ac150 entering the EU from outside the bloc.<\/p>\n
The service enables duties to be calculated and paid when postage is purchased, providing a smoother experience for customers receiving parcels in Europe and helping them to avoid unexpected charges.<\/p>\n
PDDP services are now available directly on the Etsy platform for all sellers. Royal Mail now offers the services to the following EU destinations:<\/p>\n
We\u2019re committed to helping UK businesses continue trading with customers across Europe. Our new service makes it easier for sellers to navigate the latest customs changes by collecting duties upfront and helping avoid delays or unexpected charges for customers. Exporting to the EU remains a significant opportunity for UK businesses, and we\u2019re pleased to be working with partners like Etsy to help sellers reach European customers with confidence.<\/p>\n

Cross-border selling is one of the biggest opportunities for Etsy\u2019s creative entrepreneurs, and navigating customs changes shouldn\u2019t be a barrier. Our partnership with Royal Mail makes that easier. With duties calculated and paid directly on the Etsy platform at the point of postage, UK sellers can keep reaching buyers across Europe with confidence, and buyers get a seamless experience without unexpected charges at the door.<\/p>\n
