They should just ship things the same way they ship fentanyl. It would be cheaper and faster.

Yet many countries are getting closer to China and being cheered on by many of the hate the US people.

Shouldn't EU countries do something to stop Russia?

I'm all for anarchy but then those with the bigger guns win and the US government has the bigger guns. 😂

Maybe the nordic countries come the closest but I'll wait to see how electronic privacy (chat control) unfolds

I'm sorry your business isn't agile enough to deal with your logistics issues. Perhaps you can find a market in your home country. 🤷🏻

This shipping limitation is exaggerated. How many people commenting here with the sky is falling are actually impacted in a way that can't be corrected?

My argument is to remove your self imposed limit of "regular postal system" and this is a non issue. You as a business absolutely can send packages to US customers. The costs have gone up but you can still ship.

You seem to be arguing from a point of orange man is bad and trade should be free (except for US businesses).

All countries should remove all barriers to trade!

I never voted for Trump and have never in my life voted Republican. I do have a history as a business owner dealing with unfair trade practices from other countries though.

Most governments suck in my opinion. I left the US a decade ago and spend a majority of my time in international waters and/or very easy going jurisdictions. I want nothing to do with governments.

Arguing about which government is better is like who's shit tastes better.

EU de minimis does not apply to US imports. Japan is about $70, Australian non resident businesses over $75k of sales need to register and pay GST (10%) regardless of the de minimis, for NZ, the threshold is about $30k and the GST is 15%

Facts.

If what's being evaluated is what's best for the US, buy an alternative product from a US company or from a country that has figured out how to ship.

This is BS, FedEx, DHL, and UPS collect duties for other countries just like they do for the US tariffs
