EU plans €2 fee on small parcels in hit to Shein and TemuLast year, 4.6 billion such parcels entered the EU, with more than 90% coming from China. Online marketplaces, including Chinese giants Temu and Shein, would be expected to pay the fee, said EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic. The European Union has proposed a two-euro flat fee on billions of small parcels sent directly to people's homes, which mainly come from China at the moment. The two-euro fee will apply to packages sent directly to consumers, while parcels sent to warehouses would be taxed at a lower rate of 0.50 euros (£0.42). Following negotiations last week, the tariff on small packages worth up to $800 (£606) was revised down to 54% from 120%.
