The European Union has imposed a €3 fee on cheap ecommerce parcels, dealing a blow to platforms like Shein, Temu, and AliExpress. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.

Under the new regulation, a €3 fee will be applied to all low-value parcels entering the EU. The measure aims to curb the influx of cheap imported goods and protect the local market. The decision particularly affects Chinese e-commerce platforms, which previously could offer low prices due to tax-free shipments.
