Offaly TD and Oireachtas Enterprise Committee member John Clenndennen says it will help local shops.
Irish online shoppers are facing a new penalty on purchases arriving from outside the EU from July 1st under new EU-wide rules.
Revenue confirmed a €3 customs duty will apply to each individual item in parcels valued at €150 or less, with VAT added on top.
Consumers ordering multiple products from countries such as the UK or Asia could see costs rise significantly before delivery.
Offaly TD and member of the Committee of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, John Clendennen says the move will push people to buy local:
