欧盟将于11月1日起对来自这27国集团以外的包裹征收处理费，旨在遏制来自中国的包裹涌入。
handling fee on packages from outside the 27-nation bloc on Nov 1 in a bid to curb the influx from China.
这项新征费——正值“黑色星期五”、“网络星期一”和圣诞购物旺季前几周推出——将叠加在欧盟现行的小包裹3欧元费用之上。如何运作？
The new levy – coming just weeks before the Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas season shopping rushes – will be on top of the EU’s three-euro fee on small parcels. How will it work?
无论包裹价值如何，该费用将适用于直接从欧盟以外发送给消费者的包裹中每一种类型的商品。
The fee will apply to each type of item in a package sent directly to consumers from outside the EU, regardless of the parcel’s value.
例如，如果一个包裹里有10件T恤，处理费将为2欧元。但如果一个包裹里有两顶帽子和10件T恤，费用将为4欧元。
For example, if there are 10 T-shirts in a package, the handling fee will be €2. But if a package contains two hats and 10 T-shirts, the fee will be €4.
处理费是在7月开始对价值低于150欧元的小包裹征收的3欧元关税基础上叠加的。
The handling fee comes on top of the €3 duty imposed in July on small packages worth less than €150.
欧盟坚称，欧洲消费者不需要支付处理费，但在线零售商和卖家可以在销售前增加2欧元收费。
European consumers are not expected to pay the handling fee, insists the EU, but online retailers and sellers can add a €2 charge before a sale.
欧洲消费者组织（BEUC）表示，“担心一些平台可能试图在购买的最后阶段将这些新成本转嫁给消费者”。
The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) said it was “concerned that some platforms may try to pass these new costs onto consumers at the final stages of the purchase”.
该组织补充道：“根据欧盟法律，这将是非法的，因为法律要求完整价格必须预先展示。”为什么欧盟要引入这项费用？根据官方数据，2025年近60亿个小包裹进入欧盟。
It added: “That would be illegal under EU law, which requires the full price to be shown upfront.”Why is the EU introducing the fee? Nearly six billion small packages entered the EU in 2025, according to official data.
进入欧洲的廉价包裹中约93%来自中国，通常通过阿里速卖通和拼多多旗下Temu等热门亚洲平台发送。
Some 93% of the cheap packages that arrived in Europe came from China, usually via popular Asian platforms such as AliExpress and Temu.
布鲁塞尔表示，这给海关当局带来了日益增加的压力，从而也推高了他们的成本。处理费将用于补偿他们的工作。
Brussels says this is putting increasing strain on customs authorities, thereby raising their costs too. The handling fee will compensate their efforts.
自欧盟7月对小包裹征收3欧元关税以来，进口量下降了约64%——尽管官员警告说，现在下定论还为时过早。
Since the EU imposed the €3 duty on small parcels in July, imports have fallen by around 64% – although officials warn it is too early to draw firm conclusions.
欧洲还对通过中国电商平台进入的“不安全”非欧盟产品表示担忧，例如违反欧盟规则的玩具。
Europe has also expressed concern about “unsafe” non-EU products such as toys that violate the bloc’s rules arriving via Chinese e-commerce platforms.
“多年来，海关在资源有限的情况下被要求打击非法进口，而小包裹却失控般激增，”欧洲消费者组织的Agustin Reyna表示。接下来会怎样？
“For years customs have been asked to take on illegal imports with limited resources while small parcels have multiplied out of control,” BEUC’s Agustin Reyna said. What’s next?
2欧元的处理费是一项永久性征收，而针对低价值包裹的3欧元关税是一项临时措施，有效期至2028年7月1日。从该日期起，将适用标准的、针对特定产品的海关关税。
The €2 handling fee is a permanent levy but the €3 duty on low-value packages is a temporary measure in place until July 1, 2028. From that date onwards, standard, product-specific customs tariffs will apply.
欧盟将不得不每两年评估一次处理费的金额，以确保其与欧盟海关业务的成本保持相称。
The EU will have to assess the handling fee’s amount every two years to ensure it remains proportional to the cost of customs operations in the bloc.
