Starting in 2026, the EU will impose a €2 fee on all parcels valued under €150—91% of which originate from Asian e-commerce platforms.
This will increase delivery costs by 30% and double transit times (from 5 to 10 days), while Mexican competitors are exempt.
The move comes as European ports face severe congestion: Wait times at Bremerhaven have surged 77% due to labor shortages and low water levels in the Rhine River.
Shift to bulk sea shipments via China’s new green shipping corridors (e.g., Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to Hamburg) or EU bonded warehouses.
For urgent orders, leverage JD Air’s new Chengdu-Yangon route to bypass port delays.
U.S.-China ocean freight rates have fluctuated wildly following tariff suspensions, with a $500/day spike on Los Angeles routes.
COSCO’s new Brazil-bound pulp ships (emissions reduced by 40%) now carry 660 EVs per voyage with a 30-day transit time.
Meanwhile, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port’s green corridor partnerships with Hamburg and Valencia ports promise cleaner Europe-bound routes.
Lock in pre-June rates for Q3 shipments.
For South America, prioritize COSCO’s dedicated EV shipping lanes from Shanghai to Vitória.
Monitor MSC’s planned surcharges on Asia-Europe routes in June.
China’s June 1st plastic packaging ban (aiming for 90% recyclability) and 70% EV delivery vehicle rules align with global trends, such as Ningbo-Zhoushan Port’s carbon-neutral corridor initiative (mirroring EU standards).
Meanwhile, the second China-Mongolia cross-border railway will cut transit times to Mongolia.
Require suppliers to use compliant packaging to avoid rejections in the EU and Japan.
For land shipments to Russia and Central Asia, test the new Ganqimaodu rail link opening this quarter.
1. Audit EU-bound parcels to assess 2026 cost impacts from the €2 parcel tax.
2. Switch to bulk sea freight for orders valued over €150 to mitigate fee hikes.
3. Pre-book Q3 rail and sea transportation capacity to secure slots amid congestion.
4. Adopt automated customs documentation tools (e.g., Cainiao’s AR solutions) to reduce clearance delays.
