EU Adds 2 Euro Fee for Overseas Shoppers | Ireland News

from Ireland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Starting November 1, EU shoppers buying from outside the bloc face a new 2 euro handling fee on top of the existing 3 euro per-item charge — meaning at least 5 euros extra for cheap imports from Temu, Shein, and others. This fee, part of the new EU Customs Code, covers processing costs, not duties, and applies to all goods from outside the EU, regardless of website claims. Big retailers are likely to add it at checkout, so budget accordingly as the EU tightens rules to manage the flood of cross-border e-commerce.
