- The European Commission is planning a €2 processing fee on low-value parcels entering the EU from non-EU countries as part of its 2028 customs reform. This aims to cover customs costs, improve product safety and compliance, and create fairer competition for EU sellers. Some EU countries, like the Netherlands, Romania, and France, are introducing their own national versions of the fee before the EU-wide system is in place. The fee targets the surge in cheap imports, mainly from China, and addresses concerns over regulatory loopholes and customs burdens.
