Imports of small parcels from China have already fallen by up to 40 per cent since a separate €3 EU levy came into force in July.

LOL. EU just following Trump/USA's lead in removal of the "de minimus" import duty exemption for products under $800 value

Exploiting a rule used for personal items and personal gifts, Chinese companies were running Amazon-like distribution into the USA for cheap Chinese stuff, and not paying any duty whatsoever.

It took Trump to motivate the EU to fix this problem in their own territory.

epacket shipping is a serious problem - shipping from Chyna to USA can be cheaper than shipping within the USA.
