What is the 3 euro charge on parcels from July 2026?

From 1 July 2026 the EU removes the customs-duty exemption on low-value parcels, and Malta applies a charge of 3 euros per distinct product category (HS code) on non-EU consignments valued at or below 150 euros. The charge is per HS code in the consignment, not per parcel, so multiple items in the same category attract only one charge.
