ARMO, the Romanian customs authority, warns that if not all extra-EU parcels under 150 euros are taxed, Romania will process even more parcels for free. Romanian online retailers express dissatisfaction with the exception of a 25 lei tax on parcels from Temu, Shein, and Trendyol. The Association of Online Stores in Romania states that this exception could lead to a large-scale tax avoidance scheme without additional tax payments. A new tax of 25 lei is introduced for extra-EU parcels, targeting Chinese imports, specifically affecting parcels from Shein, Temu, Trendyol, and Aliexpress with values under 150 euros.
