EU introduces €2 per-item customs fee on low-value imports, diverging from Brazil's model

The European Union is implementing a new 't-shirt tax'—a €2 per-category fee on shipments up to €150, in addition to a €3 flat charge. This marks a shift in EU import policy for low-value goods, targeting e-commerce influx. The mechanism differs from Brazil's approach, which applies a flat 20% import tax on such shipments. The move signals tightening trade controls on cross-border e-commerce, potentially affecting global retailers and consumers.
