The EU plans to charge a new €2 fee on billions of small packages, mostly from China, challenging online retailers like Temu and Shein.
The European Union has proposed a €2 flat handling fee on direct-to-consumer small packages, mainly imported from China, aiming to manage the 4.6 billion parcels entering homes annually. Shipments sent to warehouses would face a lower fee of €0.50. The revenue will help cover increased customs checks and contribute to the EU budget.
Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič said the move addresses rising imports of unsafe and non-compliant goods and unfair competition complaints from EU retailers. The proposal is still developing.
