New fees have reduced the number of packages from China. But their value is still increasing

In the third quarter of 2026, Poland saw 6.21 million foreign shipments, with 5.57 million from China, despite a slight overall decline in shipments. New customs regulations have not deterred Polish consumers, with 79.7% continuing to shop on Chinese platforms. The value of imported goods increased by 11.2% year-on-year, indicating a shift in logistics rather than a decrease in demand. A full customs reform is set for July 2028, introducing a new tariff system and eliminating exemptions for packages valued under 150 euros. Asian e-commerce giants are adapting their logistics strategies to comply with EU regulations, suggesting a continued interest in Chinese products.
