Stricter rules on importing goods from non-European online shops
Up to 12 million small parcels enter the EU every day, many of which do not meet EU safety standards and distort fair competition. MEPs want to limit the exemption from customs duties on goods up to €150, which is estimated to be massively abused. They are also proposing a €2 charge for each shipment from third countries, unless it affects consumers directly.
They also support the creation of warehouses in the EU for non-EU sellers, which would allow more effective controls on goods. Digitalisation - including the use of AI and blockchain - and more rigorous supervision of e-commerce platforms are expected to play a key role.
Some of the proposals will be further discussed in the framework of the ongoing reform of the EU customs code, which aims to adapt the rules to the realities of digital trade.
