Customs CoffeeTalks

In this episode of Customs CoffeeTalks, Chenette Hagemans‑van Wezel is joined by Raoul Ramautarsing to unpack the practical impact of coming e-commerce reforms: the abolishment of low‑value consignment relief, new duties on parcels and handling fees, and the proposed deemed‑importer concept under the nUCC. We explain who is affected, when key measures take effect and what to consider to keep parcels moving and avoid costly disruption.

In this episode, together with Anna Sougle, we unpack the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), discussing who’s in scope, what changed during the transitional phase and what the full phase from 2026 will mean for reporting, licences and financial provisioning. We also set out practical steps importers can take now to gather supplier emissions data and avoid unexpected costs.

In this episode, Eveline Michielsen and Chenette van Wezel introduce the new Union Customs Code (nUCC) and its move towards EU level, data-driven customs. They explain what the new importer concept could mean for your operations and outline a few simple, high impact actions you can start now to reduce risk and build resilience.
