EU introduces new tariff on inexpensive imports from China. 3 Euro per product group for imports below 150 Euro.
Die EU hat per 1. Juli 2026 eine neuen Zoll auf Billig-Importe aus China eingeführt. Wer etwas auf Temu, Shein, AliExpress für unter 150 Euro bestellt, muss in Zukunft für jede Warengruppe im Paket 3 Euro bezahlen. Nicht pro Paket, sondern pro Warengruppe.
Wenn man zum Beispiel T-Shirts, Handyzubehör und ein Haushaltsprodukt für jeweils 5 Euro bestellt, fallen zusätzlich 9 Euro Zoll an. Das wären dann bei einem Warenwert von 15 Euro 60% Zoll.
In Österreich kommt dann noch die Einfuhrumsatzsteuer dazu und ab Oktober dann noch eine zusätzliche nationale Paketsteuer auf Online-Bestellungen von 2 Euro pro Paket und jetzt haltet euch fest, auch für Bestellungen innerhalb Österreichs und der EU, hinzu, wenn der Shop einen Umsatz über 100 Millionen macht, was zum Beispiel bei Amazon oder Ebay, aber auch bei großen europäischen Online-Plattformen der Fall sein kann.
Die EU-Kommission hat auf X behauptet, dass die 3 Euro Steuer nicht von den Konsumenten bezahlt werden muss, sondern die Plattformen die Steuer verrechnen werden.
Denke, dass vor allem eine inner-europäische Paketsteuer den Handel und viele Kleinunternehmer, die auf einer der großen Plattformen aktiv sind, treffen wird. Insgesamt führen neue Steuern dazu, dass die Wirtschaft belastet und gebremst wird.
Viele Produkte, die man bei Temu bestellt, werden ohnehin nur in China produziert und müssen dann aufwendiger importiert werden, mit mehr Zwischenhändlern etc.
Was sagt ihr zu den neuen Paketsteuern in der EU und Österreich? Habt ihr Erfahrung mit chinesischen Anbietern, bestellt ihr regelmäßig auf AliExpress & Co.? Was haltet ihr von den neuen Steuern auf Online-Bestellungen?

As of July 1st, 2026, the EU has introduced a new tariff on low-cost imports from China. Anyone who orders something on Temu, Shein, or AliExpress for less than 150 euros will have to pay 3 euros for each product category in the package. This is not per package, but per product category.
For example, if you order T-shirts, cell phone accessories, and a household product for 5 euros each, you’ll incur an additional 9 euros in duties. With a total value of 15 euros, that would amount to a 60% duty rate.
In Austria, import sales tax is added on top of that, and starting in October, an additional national parcel tax of 2 euros per package will apply to online orders, and now brace yourselves, even for orders within Austria and the EU, if the shop has a turnover exceeding 100 million, which could be the case for Amazon or eBay, for example, but also for larger European online platforms.
The European Commission has stated on X that the 3-euro tax won’t have to be paid by consumers, instead, the platforms will pass on the tax.
I think that an intra-European parcel tax, in particular, will hit e-commerce and many small business owners who are active on one of the major platforms. Overall, new taxes put a strain on the economy and slow it down.
Many products ordered from Temu are produced exclusively in China anyway and must then be imported through a more complex process, involving more middlemen, etc.
What do you think about the new parcel taxes in the EU and Austria? Do you have experience with Chinese retailers? Do you regularly order from AliExpress and similar sites? What are your thoughts on the new taxes on online orders?
