Why Shein hauls hit the customs threshold so fast
A typical Shein "haul" video features 15-25 items totaling $80-200 — well above the per-package de minimis thresholds in most countries. That means duty + VAT, both, on the full basket value.
The trap of bulk savings
Buyers think bulk = cheaper per item. It's true for the sticker price. But on a $200 haul to Italy (22% VAT), the customs and tax line adds ~50 euros on top — sometimes more than the savings from bulk discount.
Same formula as Temu and AliExpress
subtotal_local = (cart + shipping) × FX rate
duty = subtotal × duty rate, if subtotal > deMinimis
VAT = (subtotal + duty) × VAT rate
total landed = subtotal + duty + VAT
