The Commission is taking action to tackle risks stemming from low-value imports sold via non-EU online retailers and marketplaces hosting non-EU traders.
In the Communication, the Commission sets out all the tools the EU already has at its disposal and highlights initiatives that are currently discussed by the co-legislators. In addition, it proposes new joint actions to address concerns arising from the surge of unsafe, counterfeit and otherwise non-compliant or illicit products entering the market.
This includes a Customs reform, including calling for co-legislators to swiftly adopt the proposed Customs Union Reform Package. This packages also holds the removal of the duty exemption for low-value parcels worth less than €150 and reinforcing capabilities for controls such as better data-sharing and risk assessment.
