The Last Word with Matt Cooper · Irish Shoppers To Be Hit With New Charge On Goods From Outside EU · 19 Aug 2026 podcast

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Uh it's a customs processing charge.

They're calling it a handling charge.

So it's another two euros on top of your three euros.

So um also Matt, there could be VAT as well.

You know, you're probably gonna have VAT applied to some of these things as well.

And if your delivery uh p p people, DHL or on post, have to

Extract those c charges.

If they have to deal with getting those charges sorted out because the retailer hasn't charged you at the point of sale, they're gonna charge you, for example, on PUS will charge you nearly seven euro.

So we put all that together, Matt.

You're too you could be talking about four different charges here.

You could you know, your your new three your new three euro your new three euro customs charge, your two euro uh handling charge, as they call it, and that as well.

And then if if your delivery people have to have to collect that, they're gonna charge you for it.

You so take something for ten euros, Matt, could end up being twenty four

In in China which have sometimes doubtful quality in these goods.

They don't meet EU standards sometimes.

Concerns about labour conditions.

Yes, and of course we should be ch uh uh supporting local businesses, particularly uh Irish businesses, uh EU businesses, um uh you know, but the thing here is Matt, this is you know, people have got used to buying stuff online, a lot of people addicted to it.

It's also regret.
