The EU 27 economy ministers reached an agreement on Thursday to terminate the €150 customs duty exemption that currently applies to parcels coming from non-EU countries.
The decision will impact Chinese e-commerce platforms, such as Shein and Temu, which are flooding the EU market with small parcels. In France, Shein is also at the centre of a scandal, facing legal proceedings over the sale of child-like sex dolls on its platform.
