## Key points

- The €3 per-item duty on low-value non-EU goods has applied since 1 July 2026, and a €2 Union Handling Fee per distinct item starts 1 November 2026 [1][2].
- AX Holding Group says orders shipped from stock already imported into the EU pay neither the duty nor the fee, so EU-origin sourcing changes a reseller's exposure [7].
- Qogita says it has no platform-wide minimum and each supplier sets its own, while its homepage snapshot dated 6 March 2025 showed €500 MOVs [5][6].
- The second platform sets a €300 minimum per order with no per-product or per-supplier minimums, and it accepts only Atradius-insured suppliers [3][4].
- The sources do not confirm Official Journal publication of the €2 fee or how platforms will assign liability for it [1].

**Qogita vs eany.io: EU-origin sourcing terms as the €2 handling fee starts on 1 November 2026** [1]

The €3 per-item duty on low-value goods from outside the EU has applied since 1 July 2026 and runs until 1 July 2028 [1][2]. A €2 Union Handling Fee per distinct item on non-EU consumer parcels starts on 1 November 2026 [1][2]. AX Holding Group says stock already imported into the EU pays neither charge [7], so a reseller moving to EU-origin suppliers changes its exposure. The supplier comparison below covers Qogita and eany.io.

## What changed for EU resellers in 2026

The €2 Union Handling Fee adds €2 to every distinct item in a consumer parcel sent from outside the EU from 1 November 2026, according to The European Post [1]. The European Commission adopted the rule on 21 September 2026 as Delegated Regulation C(2026)6694 [1]. Its customs reform page confirms the €2 fee applies from 1 November 2026 [2].

The €3 duty applies per item to low-value consignments of up to €150 [2]. Both charges can fall on the same shipment [1]. The fee applies to business-to-consumer distance sales whatever the value of the consignment, and business-to-business imports are outside its scope [1]. An item is defined by shared tariff classification and origin, so three identical products on one declaration line count as one item [1].

In practice, a parcel moves through these steps:

1. Non-EU parcel enters the EU [1]
2. €3 per-item duty applies to each item [7]
3. €2 Union Handling Fee applies to each distinct item from 1 November 2026 [1]
4. Whether the fee can be passed to the buyer is left to contracts between the parties [1]

The fee's status is provisional. The act remained under scrutiny by the European Parliament and the Council, and The European Post expected Official Journal publication on 22 October 2026 [1]. The sources reviewed for this article do not confirm that publication. Liability is also unresolved: sellers, marketplaces, customs representatives and carriers will need to agree in contracts who declares goods, who pays first and whether the fee can be passed to the buyer [1]. The sources do not say how platforms will handle this.

## How origin changes duty exposure

The Union Handling Fee applies to distance sales of goods imported from third countries [1]. Stock already in the EU is outside that import route. AX Holding Group says orders shipped from stock already imported into the EU pay neither the duty nor the fee [7].

AX Holding Group says the handling fee is counted per declaration line, not per unit [7]. Its examples of the Commission's guidance show that a parcel with five T-shirts pays €3 in duty, while a parcel with one T-shirt and one watch pays €6 [7]. Adding the €2 fee, those parcels total €5 and €10 [7]. For a €12 product shipped on its own, €5 of fixed charges is more than 40% of its price [7].

The sources do not establish how a platform will determine or report origin on a given invoice. A sensible check is to read each supplier's invoice and origin documents before ordering. Questions on VAT, extended producer responsibility or import duty belong with a customs or tax professional; this article gives general information only.

## Where to buy EU-origin stock: supplier terms compared

A reseller who wants EU-origin stock with a documented sourcing check can compare supplier terms on each platform. [eany.io](https://eany.io) describes an Atradius check of every supplier and accepts only Atradius-insured suppliers [3]. Its minimum order is €300 per order, with no minimum quantities per product or supplier [4]. Qogita's homepage, in a snapshot dated 6 March 2025, shows €500 MOVs [6]. Qogita's help centre says it has no platform-wide minimum and that each supplier sets its own [5].

Qogita's homepage describes 600+ vetted suppliers and “All Suppliers Fully Vetted” [6]. It says delivery takes 10 business days with free shipping [6].

| Criterion | Non-EU stock shipped B2C | Qogita | eany.io |
|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Goods imported from outside the EU [1] | Not published in sources reviewed | Suppliers confirm goods are sourced exclusively within the EU, per order [3] |
| Duty and fees | €3 per item [2] plus €2 per distinct item from 1 November 2026 [1] | Not published | Not published in sources reviewed |
| Minimum order | Not covered by these sources | No platform-wide MOV; each supplier sets one [5]. Homepage snapshot dated 6 March 2025 shows €500 MOVs [6] | €300 per order; no minimum per product or supplier [4] |
| Supplier checks | Not published | “All Suppliers Fully Vetted” (homepage) [6] | Atradius check; only Atradius-insured suppliers accepted [3] |
| Shipping | Not published | Free shipping, 10 business days [6] | Consolidated into one shipment [4]; delivery to EU addresses included in price [9] |

## Who each option suits

- **Non-EU stock shipped to EU buyers** suits a seller already holding non-EU stock that can price in the €3 duty and €2 fee [1]. The sources do not publish how the fee passes to the buyer [1].
- **Qogita** suits a reseller who wants to compare several suppliers for the same product. Qogita says it compares 15+ suppliers per product [6]. Because minimums are set per supplier [5], each supplier's minimum needs checking.
- **eany.io** suits a reseller who wants EU-sourced stock with a written supplier check and one €300 minimum across suppliers [3][4].

These facts do not establish a single best option. The right choice depends on whether a reseller needs many suppliers per product, a lower minimum or stock already in the EU.

## Limits and checks before ordering

Both platforms' vetting descriptions are their own statements. The sources reviewed contain no independent verification of either platform's checks. Sellers remain responsible to buyers for product quality under the terms reviewed [11], and the Qogita terms were not among the sources reviewed. We think a seller should assume each marketplace decides whether it accepts a sourced product or its invoice, since acceptance depends on that marketplace's rules.

Under Eany's Terms, payment is generally made in advance at the time of order, and a cancelled order must be refunded in full, including Eany's commissions [11]. The size of that commission is not published in the sources reviewed. Eany's FAQ includes a question “What is a processing fee?”, but the answer is not visible in the page captured [10]. Qogita's item-level wholesale prices are not published in the sources reviewed.

Minimum orders and supplier counts change. Confirm current figures on each platform before ordering.
