Your Duty Costs Are Higher Than They Need To Be
A 30-minute executive briefing on cross-border cost control for fashion brands.
Hosted by Future Fashion Assembly with Trade Harmonizer.
From July 2026, the EU removes its €150 duty exemption.
What replaces it is not a flat fee. It is €3 per HS code.
A single order with three product types can quickly carry €9 or more in duties, often without teams realising it.
The bigger issue
Most fashion brands operating across borders are already overpaying duty. Trade rules are complex. Classifications are easy to get wrong. And small errors compound over thousands of orders, season after season.
July makes the exposure larger. But the problem exists today.
What we cover in this session
What is changing in practical terms
