France seeks small parcel fees as flows from China surge

Quick Summary:

France is pushing to slap fees on small packages from discount retailers including China’s Temu and Shein.

Days ago, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced an examination of the country’s so-called de minimis rules, under which products valued at £135 ($180) or less can be imported without customs duty.

Montchalin said she has already discussed the idea with the Dutch government and will talk with the new German administration in the coming weeks with a view to implementing the stopgap measure by 2026.
