The EU has apparently sent member states a formal proposal to reclassify some phones as “multi-functional devices,” raising import duties on those phones.
The Commission aims to allow duties to be imposed on handsets with the most advanced features, including high-quality cameras and full Qwerty keyboards. Mobile phones (and other telephones) are currently exempt from import duty. Reported by Reuters, via Macworld.
