The EU adds a €3 per-item fee on low-value parcels
Mike Ryan has flagged that, from 1 July, the EU will apply a €3 fee per item to low-value packages that were previously exempt under de minimis rules, affecting marketplaces such as Temu and SHEIN. The UK still allows de minimis, so some sellers may shift budget there.

Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means landed costs rise for low-value EU shipments, so review pricing and margins if you sell into the EU from outside it.
