EU plans two-euro flat fee on small parcels from outside bloc
The EU on Tuesday said it is preparing to impose a two-euro ($2.25) flat fee on low-value packages from outside the bloc, the majority of which come from China.
EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic told the European Parliament e-commerce platforms would be expected to pay the fee, which aims to help the bloc tackle the challenges from a massive influx of cheap mailed items.
