10
I think the main,
11
the essential part of the reform is about transferring the liability of the product from the consumer to the importer.
12
Under the new rules, non-EU e-commerce platforms selling goods into Europe will be treated as importers.
13
That means they will be responsible for custom declarations, duties, and ensuring that products comply with EU standards,
14
rather than leaving those obligations to the final consumer it's not the consumers

The European Commission will set the level of the fee before a tax effect.
23
The changes will also affect Vietnamese businesses and sellers shipping goods directly to EU consumers through e-commerce, along with potentially higher costs.
24
Requirements on custom declarations, product origin and compliance with EU standards are also set to become stricter.
25
What the EU is changing is not simply the tax or fee applied to each parcel,
26
but the way it manages the entire flow of e-commerce import from outside the block.
27
As more responsibilities seep to the seller and platform,
28
access to the European market will increasingly depend on compliance from the moment a product is put up for sale.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
