At the same time, the recent surge of goods bought online and imported into the EU directly to consumers has amplified the challenges associated withe-commerce. These include the risk of harm to consumers’ health and safety from noncompliant products, the risk of irreversible environmental damage and negative carbon footprint, and a negative impact on the competitiveness of law-abiding businesses.  \nThe EU promotes a vision of e-commerce that reinforces sustainability, convenience, safety and reliability, and is a vehicle for the digital transformation in line with the 2030 Digital Decade targets. E-commerce should foster innovative and responsible businesses, while applying fair trade practices and complying with EU laws.  \nThis Communication outlines the Commission’s comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges posed by e-commerce imports across their entire life cycle. The Commission announces its enforcement priorities, calling for strengthened cooperation and coordination among all relevant authorities. This cooperation should ensure that imported products directly shipped to consumers via e-commerce comply with EU rules and fair trading practices. To achieve this goal, the Commission calls on Member States and their competent authorities to play a proactive role in monitoring and implementing the key actions outlined in this Communication. Additionally, the Commission sets out measures to make customs and market surveillance authorities more resilient and effective, in particular through an advanced implementation of the Customs Union Reform, as it would both remove duty relief for low value consignments and enhance control capacities, as well as through a possible non-discriminatory handling fee for imported goods delivered directly to consumers. The Commission invites market and institutional stakeholders to collaborate in this effort.  \n1. TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN E-COMMERCE IMPORTS  \nE-commerce has become an integral part of how consumers make purchases online. 70% of Europeans regularly buy products online 1, both from sellers’ e-shops and through online marketplaces. 76% of consumers think that by 2030, shopping and selling products and services online will be among the most important digital technologies in Europe2.  \nIn recent years, online marketplaces, in particular, have experienced significant growth,  \nwith international players, and also many European businesses emerging as regional champions. Offers on online marketplaces include a broad range of products, often made attractive by their low prices, and simple purchasing process, with rapid and cheap delivery. Online marketplaces have opened up international trade in consumer goods: they conne","cbCaiqSElR4edn7r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqSElR4edn7r","pdf",724089,4,1,24,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Trends and challenges in e-commerce imports\n## Enforcement priorities and cooperation","[{\"question\":\"What measures are proposed to enhance customs and market surveillance authorities?\",\"answer\":\"The document proposes making authorities more resilient and effective, in particular through advanced implementation of the Customs Union Reform and possible non-discriminatory handling fees for imported goods delivered directly to consumers.\"}]","A comprehensive EU toolbox for safe and sustainable e-commerce - Communication from the Commission | PDF",1788068883,60,{"code":4,"msg":32,"data":33},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":34,"title":13,"keywords":35,"description":14,"schema_data":36,"social_meta":79,"head_meta":81,"extra_data":83,"updated_unix":29},"a-comprehensive-eu-toolbox-for-safe-and-sustainable-e-commerce-communication-from-the-commission","",{"@graph":37,"@context":78},[38,54,69],{"@type":39,"itemListElement":40},"BreadcrumbList",[41,45,49,52],{"item":42,"name":43,"@type":44,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":46,"name":47,"@type":44,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":50,"name":12,"@type":44,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":53,"name":13,"@type":44,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/a-comprehensive-eu-toolbox-for-safe-and-sustainable-e-commerce-communication-from-the-commission/160552/",{"url":53,"name":13,"@type":55,"author":56,"headline":13,"publisher":58,"fileFormat":61,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":62,"datePublished":63,"encodingFormat":61,"isAccessibleForFree":64,"interactionStatistic":65},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":57},"Person",{"url":42,"name":59,"@type":60},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-05","2026-08-30",true,{"@type":66,"interactionType":67,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":68},"ViewAction",{"@type":70,"mainEntity":71},"FAQPage",[72],{"name":73,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":75},"What measures are proposed to enhance customs and market surveillance authorities?","Question",{"text":76,"@type":77},"The document proposes making authorities more resilient and effective, in particular through advanced implementation of the Customs Union Reform and possible non-discriminatory handling fees for imported goods delivered directly to consumers.","Answer","https://schema.org",{"og:url":53,"og:type":80,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":59,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":82,"canonical":53},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":85},[86,90,94,98,102,107,112,115,120,123,127],{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":87,"show_sort_weight":88,"slug":89},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":48,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":91,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":99,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":30,"slug":101},5,"Comic","comic",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},30,"research-report",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":122},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":126},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":128,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":130},19,"General","general"]
