China's Ministry of Commerce expressed concerns over the EU's new processing fee for low-value imports, urging a careful assessment of its impact. Starting November 1, a €2 processing fee will be applied to all imported packages, adding to an existing €3 fee for items under €150. This measure aims to strengthen customs controls in response to the influx of Chinese goods, which have surged significantly. The EU expects these fees to generate substantial revenue, potentially reaching €6 billion annually by 2028-2034, while also addressing issues related to non-compliant low-value imports. Similar measures have been adopted by the U.S. to combat unfair competition.
