What really changes on November 1
The EU charges a €2 Union handling fee on goods from outside the EU in parcels up to €150. It pays for handling the customs declaration. It is not a new duty and not a ban on ordering, and it applies to all shops and agents outside the EU, not only reps. The European Commission confirms the date.
Who pays the €2
Kakobuy covers it in full, announced on October 20 (notice), and so does USfans, announced on October 21, with no PID application. Both say they will announce any change in advance.
Do I have to do anything?
No. You order, check the QC photos and ship your parcel as always. The agent and its carrier prepare the product description in the customs declaration.
What about duty and VAT
The €2 fee does not change them. Duty is €3 per item category since July 2026, but Kakobuy charges a flat €3 per parcel in the shipping cost and covers the rest. To be fair: goods infringing trademarks could be and still can be stopped by customs, and the new fee changes nothing here.

No. The new €2 fee does not ban ordering from China. Kakobuy and USfans cover it in full, and parcels ship the same way as before.
Not because of this fee. Kakobuy announced that it covers the €2 in full on all eligible parcels, with no extra charges for customers.
€2 (the Union handling fee). It applies to goods from outside the EU in parcels worth up to €150, from November 1, 2026. It is separate from the €3 duty and VAT.
No. The agent and its carrier prepare the product description in the customs declaration. USfans said outright that no PID application is needed, and Kakobuy that no extra steps are needed.
No. The €3 duty per item category has applied since July 1, 2026, and the €2 fee from November 1, 2026. Kakobuy covers the €2 fee and charges a flat €3 per parcel for duty, however many categories it holds.
Kakobuy has not given an end date. Its notice says it will announce any change in advance.
