Written question – Fee for handling parcels worth less than EUR 150 – E-002917/2025

Question for written answer  E-002917/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Maria Grapini (S&D)

The introduction of the handling fee in the E-commerce Communication is supposed to cover the increased supervision costs incurred when goods are placed in free circulation in the EU, specifically parcels with declared values less than EUR 150.

The question is: how will the introduction of the fee collected at European level support the development of national customs authorities, which are feeling the shock of checking thousands of parcels worth less than EUR 150 coming from outside the EU?
