In a statement issued on Monday, the E-commerce Hungary Association noted that around 4.6 billion low-value consignments — worth EUR 150 million or less — had entered the EU market in 2024.
Many of those goods were found to be non-compliant with European legislation on safety, quality and environmental standards, it said.
The association welcomed proposals for customs reform, coordinated controls between customs and market surveillance authorities.
It also welcomed coordinated actions on product safety and enhancing market supervision through the use of digital tools.
