Where Zonos supports postal DDP into the EU, the PDDP surcharge for each destination, who the declarant is, and which shipments qualify.
In effect since July 1, 2026
The EU removed its EUR 150 de minimis on July 1, 2026. B2C shipments valued at EUR 150 or less now pay a flat EUR 3 customs duty per item (per HS code line), and a third-party declarant must be named on the declaration.
Ready means Zonos supports PDDP to the destination. Destinations that are not ready are DAP only: the recipient pays duty and tax on delivery, and the condition columns show N/A.
PDDP surcharge per shipment
The surcharge the destination post adds once per Postal Delivered Duty Paid (PDDP) shipment. Where two amounts are shown, the rate depends on the total value of the goods in the shipment. "No PDDP; other fees may apply" means the destination is not part of the PDDP program, so there is no PDDP surcharge, but the destination may charge other fees. TBD means the surcharge has not been confirmed yet.
Handling (PDDP and DAP operations)
How B2C shipments are treated, split by whether they use IOSS (the EU VAT scheme for sales of EUR 150 or less) and by value.
PDDP: PDDP is required. Duty and tax are paid before delivery.
DAP or PDDP: either can be used.
DAP only: PDDP is not offered. The recipient pays on delivery.
Conditions (Max goods value, Gifts, and IOSS required)
A shipment to a ready destination is quoted DDP only when it meets every condition. Otherwise it is quoted DAP.
Max goods value: value of the goods after discounts, excluding shipping.
Gifts: "Not eligible" means shipments declared as gifts are quoted DAP.
IOSS required: the shipment must carry an IOSS number, either on the shipment or registered for the sender.
Declarant
The party named on the declaration and liable for the duty.
Zonos: Zonos is the declarant.
Postal operator: the destination post is the declarant, usually as indirect representative of the sender or IOSS holder.
Recipient: no declarant arrangement is in place, so the recipient pays on delivery.
