EU to make Temu, Shein and Amazon liable for 'unsafe' goods, FT reports
Customs reforms would oblige online platforms to provide data before goods arrive in the EU, allowing officials to better control and inspect packages, according to a draft proposal seen by FT. Currently anyone who purchases goods online in the EU is treated as the importer for customs purposes, but the new reform will hold the platforms responsible, the newspaper reported. Online retailers would have to collect the relevant duty and VAT and ensure the goods comply with other EU requirements, the report said.
