The European Union's new 3-euro tariff on imported goods under 150 euros has significantly impacted cross-border e-commerce platforms like Temu, Shein, and AliExpress, as well as their sellers. This tariff, calculated per item category within a package rather than per package, has increased costs for sellers and led to a noticeable drop in sales and conversion rates.
