Tesla Sales Plunge 17% YoY in the EU in January

EU Issues New Rules Affecting Imported Parcels

The European Union has introduced new customs rules that will affect millions of imported parcels entering its market. The decision was approved by the Council of the European Union and marks a major change in how small online purchases from outside the EU are handled.

This made it easier and cheaper for consumers to order low-cost goods from international sellers. However, starting July 1, that exemption will end. A flat-rate customs duty of 3 euros will apply to each different item…

EU Calls TikTok Addictive, Demands Reforms

The European Union has accused TikTok of designing its platform in a way that encourages addiction, especially among young users.
