Understanding the EU's New Customs Measures for US-Origin Imports

European Union flags in front of the blurred European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium

New EU Customs measures for imports from the United States 

The European Union has introduced new customs measures affecting certain products originating from the United States through Regulation (EU) 2026/1455, which entered into force on June 25, 2026. These measures include adjustments to customs duties and the opening of tariff quotas for selected US-origin products.  

As a result, importers may benefit from reduced duty exposure on qualified goods, provided that origin requirements are met and adequately supported.  

Let's connect to discuss what this means for your business
