EU imposes €2 handling fee on non-EU parcels from Nov 1, hitting Temu, Shein, AliExpress

The EU will apply a €2 handling fee to all parcels from outside the bloc starting 1 November, adding to a package tax introduced in July. This targets low-value e-commerce imports from platforms like Temu, Shein, and AliExpress, raising costs for consumers and potentially reshaping cross-border trade flows. The measure is confirmed by the source, but its full impact on volumes and prices remains uncertain.
