Germany backs overhaul of EU import duties, which would end customs exemptions for cheap parcels that benefit Chinese online retailers.

The proposed overhaul of EU import duties could put an end to customs exemptions for cheap parcels such as those used by online retailers Shein and Temu. US companies have criticized the exemption, accusing it allows them to avoid customs inspections. Germany supports removing the €150 limit on duty-free goods at EU level.
