There won't be any taxes for imports with a value up to 150, as compared to 22 until now.

There won't be any taxes for imports with a value up to 150, as compared to 22 until now.
The value limit of ECU 22 set out in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 has not been increased since 1991, whereas at the same time customs duties have been significantly reduced or even abolished.
Accordingly, it is appropriate to increase the value limit for consignments of negligible value.
in Article 27 the value of ECU 22 shall be replaced by EUR 150;
