Customs services of EU countries are overwhelmed by check -in 4.6 billion parcels annually sent by retail stores outside the Union directly to private customers “FT” explained.
The tax would amount to two euros
The EC's proposal, which the British newspaper reached, does not determine the amount of tax, but people who know the course of discussion on this subject suggest that it would be about two euros.
The sums obtained in this way – reaching a year billion euros – would cover the costs incurred by the customs, and the rest would go to the Union budget.
The EU Commissioner for Trade Marosz Główczovicz promised to solve problems related to the growing number of such shipments that cause complaints from European retailers to unfair competition, and also allow you to import goods that do not meet EU standards – reminds “FT”.
