From 1 July 2026, the EU is removing the €150 de minimis threshold.
This means that shipments from outside the EU to EU countries with a value of €150 or less will require full customs clearance.
Which shipments are affected?
The new requirements apply to shipments that meet all of the following criteria:
- The shipment is sent from outside the EU to an EU country.
- It is a B2C (business-to-consumer) distance sale.
- The shipment has a declared value of €150 or less.
- The seller directly or indirectly arranges delivery to the EU customer.
Not affected: B2C return shipments from outside the EU into the EU.
Product identifiers
For affected shipments, you must provide product identifiers for each product/line item on the commercial invoice.
You need to provide the following:
1. Merchant Product ID – Required
Your SKU or product/listing code.
An example would be: 12345-BLK-M
The Merchant Product ID is already used as the product SKU, so this information is already being sent for your products.
2. Manufacturer Product ID – Required
The manufacturer's model, part, or style number.
An example would be:
| Element | Rule | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Country | 2-letter ISO code of the manufacturing origin. | United Kingdom = GB |
| Manufacturer Name | First 3 letters of the first and second words (ignore "The", "And", etc.). | "Premium Apparel Ltd" = PREAPP |
| Street Address | The highest numbers (up to 4 digits) from the street address line. | "102 Fashion Way" = 102 |
| City | First 3 letters of the manufacturer's city. | Bristol = BRI |
| Resulting MID Code | Combine them all together with no spaces or punctuation. | GBPREAPP102BRI |
3. Standardised Product ID – Required if available
A recognised standard product identifier, where one is available.
Examples include:
- GTIN
- EAN
- UPC
- ISBN
- IMEI
If no standardised product identifier is available, enter “No”.

Where can I add these details?
These fields can be found in the Product Catalogue under Export Details.
You can add the information to each product individually.
Bulk upload
If you need to update a large number of products, you can also bulk upload this information using a CSV file instead of entering it individually.
For instructions on how to upload product information using a CSV file, see our Product CSV Upload Guide.
