More Duty-Free Imports from the USA
New Customs Rules from July 1 – More Duty-Free Imports from the USA
As of July 1, many products originating in the United States can be imported into the EU free of customs duty. This includes a wide range of industrial goods, machinery, spare parts, chemicals, plastic products, metals and tools. In addition, certain agricultural and food products will benefit from improved tariff conditions through tariff quotas or reduced duty rates.
What does this mean?
For many businesses, the new rules mean lower import costs and new opportunities to source products from American suppliers.
It is important to note that duty-free treatment only applies to goods that meet the rules of U.S. origin. VAT and any other applicable taxes or charges continue to apply under the normal regulations.
The new rules also cover vehicles of U.S. origin. If you import vehicles from the United States, this may result in significantly lower customs duties.
