Online shoppers who regularly order from platforms such as Temu, AliExpress and Shein are about to find their purchases becoming more expensive.
From July 1, a new EU-wide customs duty of three euros will be applied to all parcels arriving from outside the European Union with a declared value of up to 150 euros.
For many Lithuanian shoppers, the platforms have become a staple of everyday spending. That pastime is about to carry an added cost.
How the new charge will work
The duty applies per category of goods within a parcel, not per order – a distinction that could catch some shoppers off guard.
