The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is organising a Consumer Policy Dialogue on the first impacts of the temporary €3 customs duty on low-value parcels, introduced on 1 July 2026, and what these developments mean for the broader EU Customs Reform.
The discussion will bring together representatives from consumer organisations, public authorities, EU institutions and business stakeholders to exchange views on consumer protection, product safety, enforcement, transparency of costs and the functioning of the Single Market.
The event will take place at the EESC premises in Brussels and will be followed by a light networking lunch.
