Starting July 1, 2026, European Union regulations have introduced new customs rules affecting online purchases from non-EU countries, particularly impacting popular Chinese platforms such as Temu, Shein, and AliExpress. These changes aim to address concerns about the mass importation of low-cost goods from China and to level the playing field between European and Asian e-commerce businesses. Under the new system, a flat customs duty of three euros will be applied per item category in each shipment valued under 150 euros. This means that a customer purchasing one shirt, pants, and a pair of shoes would face a total additional charge of nine euros, while buying three shirts would incur just three euros in extra fees. The regulation applies to all items imported from outside the EU, regardless of their value, but the impact is most noticeable on lower-priced items where the added cost represents a larger proportion of the final price.
The new rules also affect how customs duties are calculated. Previously, small shipments were exempt from customs duties, with customers only paying VAT (Value Added Tax). Now, these shipments will be subject to both VAT and the new flat customs fee. However, the VAT calculation remains unchanged, and major online retailers are part of the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) system, which allows them to collect VAT at the time of purchase. This means that customers generally won’t need to pay VAT again upon delivery. The new customs fee is separate and will be levied when the goods enter the EU.
Customs officials emphasize that large e-commerce platforms typically handle these charges transparently. They ensure that the final price displayed includes all applicable duties, making it easier for consumers to understand the total cost before completing their purchase. Smaller sellers might pass the costs onto buyers directly, either by including them in product prices or adding them during checkout. For example, some platforms have already integrated the new customs fee into their shopping carts, ensuring that customers see the full amount upfront.
In Slovenia, Posta Slovenije has confirmed that packages arriving from within the EU will not be subject to the new customs fee. However, items coming from non-EU countries will still incur the three-euro charge per item category. Posta Slovenije also notes that returning goods purchased online will no longer allow for the reimbursement of previously paid customs duties unless the returned item is defective or does not meet the order specifications. This change aims to streamline the return process and reduce administrative burdens on customs authorities.
The implementation date for the new customs rules is based on the moment the package enters the customs process rather than the date of the order. This means that even orders placed before July 1 could be subject to the new customs fee if they are processed after this date. This detail is crucial for consumers who might consider rushing their orders to avoid the new charges, but it's important to note that this strategy may not work due to the timing of customs processing.
The temporary nature of the new customs fee suggests that the EU is working towards a more permanent solution for taxing such imports, which is expected to be finalized by 2028. In the meantime, the immediate effect is that online shoppers can expect slightly higher costs for their purchases from non-EU countries, especially for lower-value items. The number of such shipments has been decreasing over recent years, according to data from the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, indicating a possible shift in consumer behavior or market dynamics.
The new regulations are intended to create fairer competition among e-commerce businesses and to enhance oversight of cross-border trade. While the changes may lead to increased costs for consumers, they are seen as necessary steps to ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and consumer protection standards that European companies must adhere to. As the situation evolves, further developments regarding the enforcement of these new customs rules and their broader economic implications remain under observation.

24ur (POP TV)NeodvisenSredinaDejstva 85Objektivnost 80pred 7 dneviEvropska unija je danes uvedla nov sistem, ki poveča carine do devet evrov za nakupe pri kitajskih spletnih trgovcih na drobno, kot so Temu, AliExpress in Shein. Sprememba vpliva na stranke, ki kupujejo več predmetov s teh platform, zaradi česar morajo plačati dodatne pristojbine. Vendar pa so nekatere platforme te pristojbine že vključile v svoje nakupovalne vozičke, medtem ko druge, kot je Shein, ponujajo kategorijo "evropskega skladišča", da bi se izognili tarifam. Po navedbah uradnikov bodo paketi obdavčeni na prvi vstopni točki v EU, pogosto na Madžarskem, kar pomeni, da slovenska pošta ne bo zaračunavala dodatnih pristojbin za dostave Temu. Drugi prodajalci lahko dajo dajatev v cene izdelkov ali jo izračunajo v košarici. Strokovnjaki predlagajo, da bodo veliki trgovci na drobno vodili postopek za potrošnike in zagotovili preglednost končnih cen.

DomovinaNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 85Objektivnost 80pred 8 dneviEvropska unija je 1. julija uvedla nova pravila, ki veljajo za uvoz majhnih paketov iz tretjih držav. Te spremembe so namenjene predvsem prilivu poceni blaga iz Kitajske, zlasti na priljubljene platforme za e-poslovanje, kot so Temu, Shein in AliExpress. V skladu z novimi predpisi bodo nakupi v vrednosti manj kot 150 € zdaj povzročili fiksno carino v višini 3 € za kategorijo izdelkov, ki bo nadomestila prejšnje oprostitev carin. Medtem ko davek na dodano vrednost (DDV) ostaja nespremenjen, je nov ukrep namenjen uravnavanju konkurenčnega polja med evropskimi in azijskimi spletnimi trgovci na drobno s povečanjem stroškov za cenejše izdelke. Evropska komisija je poudarila zaskrbljenost zaradi hitre rasti poceni uvoza iz Kitajske, pri čemer trdi, da se evropska podjetja soočajo s strožjimi standardi, varnostjo okolja in varstvom potrošnikov v primerjavi z mnogimi izdelki iz tretjih držav.

Slovenske noviceNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 85Objektivnost 80pred 10 dneviOd 1. julija 2026 bo Slovenija uvedla nove carinske predpise za blago v vrednosti do 150 €, ki prihaja iz držav zunaj EU. Poleg DDV se bo uporabljala začasna carinska dajatev v višini 3 € na izdelek, izračunana na podlagi posameznih elementov, navedenih v carinski deklaraciji, ne pa na celotnem paketu. Ta sprememba vpliva na spletne nakupe s platform, kot so Temu, Shein in AliExpress, ki so znane po nizkih cenah.

N1 SlovenijaNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 85Objektivnost 80pred 11 dneviOd srede bodo nakupovanja na kitajskih spletnih tržnicah, kot so Temu, Shein in AliExpress, stala več zaradi novih carinskih predpisov v Evropski uniji. Posodobljena pravila uvajajo začasno carino v višini treh evrov na izdelek v pošiljki v vrednosti do 150 evrov. To velja ne glede na to, ali je bil nakup opravljen prek sistema IOSS, kjer se DDV plača vnaprej, ali prek standardnih carinskih postopkov.
Ocena pristranskosti (Sredina): V članku so podrobno razložene nove carinske uredbe EU, ki vplivajo na spletno nakupovanje, ne da bi se očitno zavzemala za katero koli politično stran, spremembe pa so pojasnjene nevtralno, pri čemer so navedeni uradni viri ter so opisane posledice in izjeme novih pravil.

DemokracijaStrankarsko povezanSredinaDejstva 85Objektivnost 80pred 11 dneviV skladu s temi pravili se carine na splošno izračunajo na podlagi carinske deklaracije, ne glede na to, ali je bil nakup opravljen prek posebne uvozne ureditve IOSS (kjer se DDV plača ob naročilu) ali prek standardnih carinskih postopkov. Začasna dajatev v višini 3 € na izdelek se bo uporabljala za vse izdelke v paketu, z dodatnimi stroški, odvisnimi od števila izdelkov. Ta sprememba omejuje posredno zastopanje carinskih uslužbencev in povečuje s tem povezane pristojbine.
Ocena pristranskosti (Sredina): Članek daje dejanske razlage novih carinskih predpisov, ne da bi očitno zagovarjal katero koli politično stran; opisuje spremembe carinskih postopkov, oprostitve in njihove posledice, vendar ne vključuje subjektivnih komentarjev ali pristranskega jezika.
