Must a handling fee charged only below a minimum order value be included in the total price of each product? No, held the CJEU on a reference from the Federal Court of Justice (CJEU, 26 March 2026, C-62/25), followed by the BGH (3 June 2026, I ZR 49/24) – provided the fee is stated clearly and in good time and is genuinely avoidable. Unavoidable fees remain part of the total price.
