The quote attributed to a Customs Department spokesman, Šarūnas Avižionis, and the purpose it describes (compensating losses, encouraging consolidated parcels) do not appear in any trusted text.

Pravda says
“"There are very many shipments and their processing requires large resources. The additional 2 euro tax is sought to at least partially compensate losses and reduce the total number of shipments, encouraging them to be combined into larger shipments"”
"Siuntų yra labai daug ir jų apdorojimas reikalauja didelių išteklių. Papildomo 2 eurų mokesčio pagalba siekiama bent iš dalies kompensuoti nuostolius ir sumažinti bendrą siuntų skaičių, skatinant jas jungti į didesnes siuntas"

Pravda omits that the EU says consumers should not pay the fee directly, and that the consumer group BEUC warns that platforms passing it on at checkout would breach EU law.
