EU set to tighten customs checks for online retailers in crackdown on unsafe goods
Briefly

The European Commission is implementing tougher customs controls to tackle the influx of unsafe products from online e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu, which have surged significantly. With 4.6 billion low-value parcels entering the EU last year, the Commission emphasizes the need for a safer, fairer e-commerce marketplace that complies with regulations. The policy includes collaboration with national customs agencies to enhance market surveillance and product testing. There are additional concerns regarding the environmental impact of these goods, leading to discussions about modifying duty exemptions and introducing handling fees for compliance oversight.
