What all sources covered

Cypriot consumers have continued to place significant orders from online platforms Shein and Temu despite a recently imposed €3 customs duty. Over 100,000 parcels were recorded in the first 15 days of July, indicating sustained online shopping activity. The Department of Customs noted that the increased volume of small packages has contributed to a strain on their systems. The ongoing demand underscores a shift in consumer preferences towards these popular Asian e-commerce platforms. No reduction in online shopping has been observed since the implementation of the new tariff.
