小锦了解到，Temu近日针对所谓"高价商品"的流量管控手段进一步收紧。 不同于以往的"明面警告"，平台此次似乎采用了一种更为严厉的"隐形屏蔽"机制，让不少卖家措手不及。 据卖家反馈，当前被标记 "高价限流" 的商品，若未及时处理，相关SKU会被平台 "前端屏蔽"——消费者在页面无法搜索、查看该商品，但卖家后台仍显 示商品状态正常，堪称 "看不见的限流"。 "不特意去前端搜一搜，根本发现不了这波骚操作！"有卖家无奈吐槽。 此外，据买手透露，自本月起，被判定"高价限流"的商品链接若放任不管，面临的风险将远超以往。 此前，被判定为"高价"的商品链接，通常仅会被限制曝光或直接下架，卖家能快速定位问题，甚至部分链接放置一段时间后流量还可能自行恢复。 但新惩罚机制"前端屏蔽、后台无感"的这种操作，卖家难以及时察觉，显然是为了堵死卖家过去通过"放置等待恢复"的侥幸心理。 虽然目前该屏蔽措施尚属"概率性事件"，主要仍以限流为主，但种种迹象表明，这种隐蔽的屏蔽手段可能在未来成为常态化的治理工具。 面对升级后的"高价限流"政策，业内人士结合实操经验，总结了针对性应对方案，建议卖家按具体情况灵活处理： ①小幅价差：参与活动，临时破 ...

这项政策现在还没有完全确定，欧盟计划在12月召开会议，讨论具体的细则，看看是2026年才开始执 行，还是再次推迟。对于我们来说，未来海淘可能会变得更加昂贵，但那些中国商家很可能会迅速想出 新的解决办法，因为做生意的人总能找到出路。 有趣的是，欧盟负责贸易的谢夫乔维奇表示，这项政策是为了保护欧洲企业，但大家都能看出来，最终 买单的还是普通消费者。以前一百五十欧元可以买很多东西，现在同样的钱可能买不了那么多。欧洲人 心里肯定会疑惑，是否值得花这么多钱，而那些大型商场和公司反而可能松了一口气，毕竟这样一来， 竞争压力会减轻。 要说这背后没有其他动机，谁会相信呢？欧盟表面上看似是在讲公平，实际上可能 是在试图压制中国电商的增长。Temu和Shein在全球的成功，连亚马逊和沃尔玛这样的巨头也感受到了 威胁。如果欧盟加税，短期内确实会给中国卖家带来麻烦，但他们可能会通过调整物流方式或者改变经 营策略，找到应对的办法。 最近欧盟出台了一项新规定，计划对我们平时买的小包裹征税。以前那些单价不到150欧元的小物品可 以免税，原定是到2028年才开始执行这个政策，现在突然决定提前到明年开始实行。法国、德国等国家 的财政部长召开会 ...

关于德国将于2025年11月24日起，对所有来自中国的跨境小包统一征收23%增值税，并全面取消22欧元免税额度的消息，引发业内高度关注。表面上，这 是对中国电商包裹的税收调整；但从更宏观的视角看，这更像是全球贸易秩序重新洗牌过程中的一枚关键拼图。无论是德国政府对税收漏洞的长期不满， 还是本土产业协会对低价竞争的压力反馈，都说明欧洲对跨境电 商的监管正走向更"精细化"和"对价化"。 对于以量取胜、依赖低价免税模式的卖家而言，过去十年的红利正被迅速消耗；而对于希望长期扎根欧洲市场的品牌型卖家，则迎来了一个新秩序下重新 分层的机会窗口。 （图片源于网络|侵删） 01 财政与产业压力推动政策加速落地 如果将德国此次税改简单理解成"针对中国的小动作"，显然低估了背后的复杂逻辑。德国财政部长期面对增值税流失问题，免税小包每年带来的百亿美元 缺口已构成财政负担；同时，中国产品的大量输入对本地零售端的挤压是实实在在的事实，服装、家居等行业的市场份额被稀释，引发产业组织多年的呼 吁；此外，欧盟内部对于"自由贸易与产业保护"的平衡始终存在裂痕，德国汽车和机械行业更担忧中国可能的反制措施。 因此，这次增值税统一征收并不是单点政策， ...

Core Viewpoint - The European Union (EU) is adjusting its diplomatic tone towards China, aiming for a more conciliatory approach to ensure smooth negotiations on critical materials like rare earths and chips, driven by the reality of dependency on Chinese supply chains [1][5]. Group 1: EU's Diplomatic Shift - The EU has requested its officials to lower the rhetoric when discussing China to avoid tensions that could disrupt negotiations on essential materials [1]. - This shift in tone is not indicative of a policy change but rather a pragmatic response to the challenges posed by supply chain dependencies [3][5]. - The EU's strategy reflects a dual approach of softening language while maintaining stringent policies against Chinese industries, indicating a complex relationship [5][8]. Group 2: Supply Chain Dependencies - China dominates the global rare earth permanent magnet production, making it difficult for European industries, such as electric vehicles and wind power, to disengage from Chinese supplies [1][10]. - The average approval time for mining projects in Europe is over 20 times longer than in China, leading to significant delays and environmental disputes [3]. - The semiconductor sector is facing similar challenges, with recent actions by the Dutch government causing panic in the European automotive industry due to potential supply chain disruptions [3][10].

Group 5: Future Outlook - The EU's internal political dynamics, including the rise of far-right parties advocating for decoupling from China, complicate the potential for a unified and pragmatic approach [6][8]. - The EU's dual strategy of soft rhetoric and hard actions may lead to more complex negotiations and could undermine trust with China [8][13]. - A shift towards recognizing mutual dependencies and focusing on cooperative areas could open new opportunities for both parties, but continued adversarial views may hinder progress [13].
