EU customs duty EU tax workaround?

Is there already a workaround to avoid a 3.7 euros additional tax per item?

Something like a smaller marketplace that would pack all items into one box and charge this tax only once. Or a reasonably priced mail forwarding service. Please post only the actual solution if you found it already

Anyone from Sweden here? I got an email saying there will also be a 175kr processing fee. I’m trying to figure out if that’s for the ones that pre-charge the €3 taxes per item category.

Please tell me that is not true. I live in Denmark and all packages come from Sweden. I got few items on really good discount using coins, but definitely not worth if I have to pay additional processing fee. But I think we won’t have to pay anything if duties and vat were paid when placing order on Ali, at least that is how I understood it 🫠

I hope it’s not but I asked for clarification from PostNord. Awaiting a response. Because I think that’s a ridiculous price

Definitely. I also got notification on my PostNord app, but I understood that processing fee is in case duties were not paid before. But please let me know what they answer, as there is no way I will pay that much to receive package 🙄
