Yeah.

My my colleague Rory McGinn ha had a good story uh this week.

He he's covered this a lot.

Yeah, you're right.

In July this Timu tax, this customs duty charge came in, three euro Euros per item.

So, you know, if you have three different items and even if they're small value, uh they'll they'll be charged at three Euros.

That we used to be that there was no customs duty on items under 150 euros.

We're talking here about stuff coming in from outside the European Union because obviously it's free trade within the European Union.

So stuff from China, you know, from Sheen or Timu, from Britain even

N doesn't apply in Northern Northern Ireland.

Uh but uh so this three Euros came in in July, people quite annoyed about it.

How do they know how many items are?

So you have to specify all this on the package, you know.

Um look at if they're the same item you can it's just three euros.

But if it's three, like if small value could be a T shirt and a a pair of trousers and uh you know, uh whatever a hat.

Th they're they're separate items.

So that there'll be three euros on each of those.

That's nine euros on total.

Now another charge is coming in from November.

Uh the EU is bringing in a charge essentially to cover the cost of administrating this original charge.
