The Regulatory Radar
A monthly digest of confirmed and upcoming regulatory change across all covered markets. Every item is dated, sourced, and translated into what it means for your business.
In practice: Since 1 November the EU charges a €2 handling fee on each product line in a low-value B2C parcel, on top of the €3 customs duty in place since 1 July. Both are charged per commodity code, so a parcel holding three different products can carry €15 in EU charges, and VAT generally applies to the fee. Gifts over €45 are also caught. Check what share of your EU orders is under €150, then review your prices and delivery terms.

EU packaging rules apply, with PFAS limits on food-contact packaging
In practice: Where you send physical product to the EU, get written confirmation from your packaging suppliers that food-contact packaging meets the PPWR PFAS limits: 25 ppb for any individual PFAS and 250 ppb for the sum by targeted analysis, excluding polymeric PFAS, and 50 ppm for total PFAS including polymeric. The limits catch non-intentionally added and polymeric PFAS, so a supplier saying it adds no PFAS is not the same as compliance, and there is no sell-through transition: packaging first placed on the EU market from 12 August 2026 must comply regardless of when it was made, even though labelling, recycled content and recyclability duties only phase in from 2028 and 2030.
