Key points

The surge in e-commerce imports, particularly from China, has led to a massive increase in small parcels entering the EU, making traditional customs checks difficult.
New rules regarding the protection of geographical indications for craft and industrial products will come into force in late 2025.
There is an urgent call to remove the current customs duty exemption for low-value goods (under 150 EUR) to prevent unfair competition.
The report advocates for the creation of a new EU Customs Authority and a centralized data hub to improve coordination and digital tracking.
