@not_a_newtpaying the fee twice for one order is the part that gets me. if the two tees you buy are different materials, the European Union counts them as separate items instead of one purchase, and the charge lands again. nobody I know could explain why that rule exists. it just leaves people confused and out of pocket. the EU's charges on imports are already over the top, and this is the kind of thing that makes it worse.

The image is an infographic comparing EU fees for parcels of t-shirts. It shows two scenarios: one with four cotton t-shirts of the same fabric in different colors, costing €5 with €3 duty and €2 fee, and another with two cotton and two polyester t-shirts, costing €10 with €6 duty and €4 fee. The style is clean and informative, with simple graphics of t-shirts. The text "Different fabric, double the EU fee" is prominently displayed at the top. The source is listed as "EU Council, European Commission. Parcels up to €150, before VAT" and a watermark reads "@MyLordBebo".
