Die neue Zoll-Reform 2026: Wie uns die EU bei Temu & Co. heimlich abkassiert

Is cheap Chinese shopping finally over after July 1, 2026? In this investigative video, we clarify everything about the new customs reform of 2026, which massively affects platforms like Temu, Shein, and AliExpress. With the elimination of the €150 duty-free allowance (also known as the customs exemption limit) for imports from non-EU countries, online shopping has fundamentally changed. Every package from China is now subject to tax and customs duties from the very first cent. What does this mean for you specifically? Will you now have to pay additional customs fees and a new flat customs charge of €3 with every purchase? And how is import VAT calculated? We show you the exact cost matrix and explain how the IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) procedure works, so you don't experience any unpleasant surprises at your doorstep from the postman. You'll also learn why Deutsche Post or other parcel services may charge a handling fee and how you can pay customs duties online. What does this mean for you specifically? Many retailers in China previously used so-called shipment splitting to avoid import duties. But the European Union is now finally closing this tax loophole. In this documentary, you'll learn everything about the new CN codes for various product categories that determine customs clearance and how prices for clothing, electronics, and cosmetics will change immediately. We conduct a comprehensive fact check and debunk the three biggest myths about the customs reform: Do you really have to pay the delivery driver €15 in cash at your doorstep? Do the new rules also apply to duty-free allowances for air travel or holidays? Are personal gifts from abroad still duty-free up to €45? We also take a look behind the scenes of politics and business. Why are the German Retail Federation (HDE) and consumer protection groups demanding stricter controls for product safety and consumer protection? And why is the German Customs Union warning of a bureaucratic collapse due to the flood of small shipments?
