The paper learned from the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) that in 2021, a total of about 14 million parcels arrived from non-EU countries (of which 1.2 million were destined for Hungary, while 12.9 million went elsewhere in the EU).
However, by 2024 this number had gradually grown to an astonishing level.
In the first nine months of the year, a total of more than 95 million such parcels transited Ferenc Liszt International Airport, but only 11 million of these were destined for Hungarian recipients, the rest were sent to other countries.
The vast majority of the parcels come from Temu and Shein, which have taken the European market by storm, the report noted.
