小额包裹似乎在被全世界围剿。 当地时间5月20日，欧盟提出一项草案：针对邮递至个人消费者的小额包裹将征收每件2欧元的固定费 用，但对寄往欧盟仓库的商品则收取0.5欧元的较低费用。 欧盟贸易委员塞夫乔维奇表示，这些费用将由平台承担，以应对大量廉价商品涌入所带来的挑战。 目前，单价低于150欧元的小额包裹可免关税进入欧盟，是跨境卖家销往欧盟市场的重要通道。数据显 示，2024年共有46亿件此类包裹进入欧盟，平均每秒超过145个，其中91%来自中国。欧盟预计这一数 字还将上升。 如果该政策正式实施，无疑将对欧洲直邮小包市场造成打击。此前，由于美国取消了小额包裹免税，许 多跨境卖家选择开拓欧洲市场。数据显示，与 4 月相比，在 5 月的前 12 天，Temu和Shein在欧洲的广 告支出分别增长了 40% 和 30%。 "不知道还能去哪"，有卖家心灰意懒说道。近几个月，由美国带来的数次关税反转，让跨境电商行业动 荡不安，而其中直邮小包或许是受伤最重的那个。 欧盟小包免税将终结？ 此次征收固定关税提案，被视为欧盟全面取消小额包裹免税政策的先行步骤。 今年2月，欧盟委员会就提议取消自2010年设立的150欧元免税门槛，要 ...

这一计划是继美国结束小额包裹关税豁免后，各国为打击低成本进口商品所做的最新尝试。 5月初，美国政府正式取消来自中国内地及香港的"小额进口包裹免税"政策。一夜之间，年均13.6亿件包裹失去 了"绿色通道"。小额豁免，这个曾经支撑中国跨境电商高速增长的关键机制被彻底关停。美国之后，欧盟、日本 又相继流露出对小额包裹加税的意向。虽然尚无最终定论，但不少曾经靠"小额免税"起家的电商正被迫重写出海 剧本。 美欧日相继"动手" 当地时间5月20日，据外媒报道欧盟宣布计划取消价值低于150欧元的小包裹免税政策。同时，对进入欧盟境内、 直邮至消费者家中的小包裹征收每件2欧元的统一费用。若小包裹先运送至欧盟境内仓库储存，则按每件0.5欧元 征收费用。 然而，这种"跑得太快"的增长，引发了监管的强烈反弹。美国两党轮番将小额免税称为"漏洞"，斥其让廉价商品 大量涌入、冲击本土制造业与就业市场。另据欧盟委员会，欧盟去年有23亿件相关免税商品入境，主要源自中国 电商平台Shein、Temu和阿里巴巴全球速卖通的快速增长。一些当地零售商和行业组织控诉中国电商利用免税渠 道，售卖廉价和不合格商品。 日本市场方面，如果免税政策修改，从She ...
