1
Around 6 billion e-commerce parcels entered the European Union last year.
2
The rapid growth in volume is putting increasing pressure on customs authorities and raising the risk of non-compliant goods entering the market.
3
The Council of the European Union has now approved the bloc's biggest customs reform in decades.
4
With one major change, responsibility for goods sold online will shift from consumers to importers
5
and e-commerce platforms themselves more from Vietnam today's correspondent in Europe
6
every day millions of small parcels are delivered to consumers across
7
Europe under the current systems the final buyer can in principle
8
be held responsible even online purchase has not met custom requirements
9
or does not comply with EU rules but with such huge volumes that approach is becoming increasingly difficult to enforce.
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
15
that have to pay this fee it's either the sellers
16
or the online platforms exactly how they have to pay customs
17
duty right now the EU is also significantly strengthening penalties in
18
serious cases of non compliance with custom obligations companies could phrase
19
up to six per of the total value of goods they imported in the previous year.
20
They could also lose some certain custom privileges or face restrictions on access to online platforms.
21
From November 1, the EU will also institute an additional EU-wide handling fee on small parcels.
22
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.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
