The European Union plans 2 euros on the small parcels that enter the mass

The European Union has suggested fixed fees from Euro on billions of small parcels that were sent directly to the homes of people, which are mainly from China at the present time.

The new tax may mean that packages of less than 150 euros (126 pounds) are no longer free of customs.

European Union Trade Commissioner Marus Sevkovic said that the online markets, including Chinese giants, Timo and Shin, are expected to pay the fees.

Last year, 4.6 billion of these parcels entered the European Union, with more than 90 % of China.

Sivkovic said that such a folder created a huge work burden for European Union customs employees. He said he made challenges to ensure the safety and standards of goods that enter the mass properly.

He told the European Parliament that the proposed fees “compensate for the cost.” Brussels also hopes that some revenues resulting from the European Union budget will go.

Two fees of Euro will be applied to the beams sent directly to consumers, while taxes on the parcel sent to warehouses will be imposed at a rate of 0.50 euros (0.42 pounds).

The European Union moved after the new United States Definitions on Chinese goods In the era of President Donald Trump’s administration – which includes fees on small packages.

After the negotiations last week, the customs tariff was reviewed on a small package of $ 800 (606 pounds) to 54 % of 120 %. However, there are fixed fees for each piece worth $ 100.

There were fears that Chinese e -commerce giants could overwhelm the European market with cheap commodities, as the products should originally be thrown to the United States elsewhere.

European retailers have previously complained that they are facing unfair competition with competitors abroad, who say they do not comply with the standards of strict products of the European Union.

Shin and Timo previously said they would cooperate with the organizers and consumer standards. Timo says it has 92 million users of the European Union, while Shin said it has more than 130 million.

Before the American definitions, platforms such as Shein and Temu relied on the so -called “De Minimis” to charge elements of low value directly to customers in the United States without having to pay duties or import taxes.
