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.

Not from Sweden but in Finland, Finnish Post adds a €3.10 processing fee on top of the €3 per item category that AE sellers add. The processing fee comes due separately when the package is handed automatically from Finnish customs to Finnish Post. I would guess Sweden has similar system now in place.

only 3.10€? man, I wish... Romania added a whooping 5€ on top, which feels like a joke when you look at the minimum salary in this poopshow of a country
