While new regulations now impose a fixed customs duty of €3 on each item imported via distance sales, it is imperative to adapt your flows.

To meet this challenge, ASD Group offers a concrete solution by providing 3,500 m² of warehouse space strategically located near the Eurotunnel. By combining this logistical tool with a local storage strategy, you can eliminate this cost while gaining efficiency.

The paradigm shift: from the IOSS model to local stock

The €3 tax applies to distance sales of imported goods from third countries.
