Low-cost goods ordered through platforms such as Temu, Shein and AliExpress could become more expensive under a new parcel handling fee. The charge applies to low-value imports and comes in addition to existing flat customs payments.
The measure is intended to reduce the flow of small parcels entering the market. For consumers, however, the added fee is expected to increase the final price of inexpensive items sold through these platforms.
The available information does not specify the amount of the new fee or how it will be collected.
