  • Check that Romanian delivery partners verify and report the fee for parcels cleared in other member states.
  • Include the Romanian fee in delivered duty paid price calculations for Romanian consumers.

Our reading

The highest national add-on in the EU; we found no announced end date. Economedia (1 July 2026) reports that Romania will have to abolish its own fee to align with EU rules, but we found no official act or date, so the fee should be treated as in force until one appears.
End of de minimis
