EU imposes €2 fee on non-EU e-commerce parcels to tighten customs controls

The EU will apply a €2 management fee per item on online purchases from outside the bloc starting November 1, adding to the €3 tariff already in place for sub-€150 goods. The measure targets the surge in shipments from platforms like Shein and Temu, aiming to strengthen customs oversight. This raises costs for cross-border e-commerce and may affect consumer demand and platform competitiveness.
