EU could target ultra low-cost e-tailers like Shein and Temu with package handling fee or tax for imports | TechCrunch
Briefly

The European Union is contemplating a crackdown on imported goods from Asian e-tailers, citing safety and counterfeiting concerns amid a flood of cheap packages.
Currently, there are no custom duties on goods valued under €150, making it challenging for the EU to inspect all incoming packages, which arrive at a staggering rate.
The European Commission is considering a per-package administrative handling fee or a tax on e-commerce platforms' revenue as potential solutions to regulate these imports.
This initiative aims to impose stricter safety standards on inexpensive goods shipped from China while complicating the operational costs for importers selling these items.
