Cypriot consumers have shown a strong resilience against a newly imposed €3 customs duty on items ordered from popular online platforms Temu and Shein. Despite the addition of this tariff, there has been a remarkable influx of orders, with over 100,000 packages recorded by the Department of Customs in the first 15 days of July alone. Reports indicate that the volume of these small parcels has significantly contributed to delays and an overwhelming workload for customs officials.
The continued enthusiasm for online shopping suggests that Cypriots are undeterred by the new tariff and maintain a steady purchasing pace from these Asian e-commerce sites. Various outlets noted that the demand for products from Temu and Shein remains robust, reflecting a broader trend of consumer behavior that persists even in the face of regulatory changes. As a result, significant revenue has entered customs from these tariffs within a short period, indicating sustained consumer engagement with digital commerce.
