@Ghoul if I understood correctly what US want to do is already implemented in EU for a long while and you can buy raws or you could until now without problem and import them even if is a fee for everything that enter EU. That's why I told you that even if it will implement this rule it would be the same assuming China gets back to normal.
Also you must declare what you send when you use DHL. for example but it's on your responsibility what you send they check and see a powder and you declare that is powder for paint color(don't know how it's called in enghlis) because it's look like raws but they can't test it.
Maybe now you understand better why I told you that is pointless what US try to do with that minimus
You are misunderstanding the point. Right now it's easy to ship anything from China to the US with a 99.99% success rate,
Easy shipping means cheap products, and a wide selection.
While some EU countries are "easy" to ship to, only charging VAT based on the invoice they're sent and. not inspecting packages, that's not universal.
EU countries don't have an $800 exemption, below which packages bypass customs completely.
Explain why some EU countries are "No reship"?
How easy is it for someone in Switzerland to get raws or oils? Finland? South Korea? Good fucking luck.
I'm repeating this for the millionth time. I never claimed AAS would become unavailable. I said it's clear things will change, making things more difficult than they are now, and that it may be wise to take advantage of the current good situation by stocking up so you can get through any disruption without concern.
If nothing changes (though it will), no harm done.
Instead, a small army are "guaranteeing" that it will always be like it is now, and no need to keep a kit or two extra on hand just in case. In fact, you're a fool to do so, because (fill in the blank) happened "x" number of years ago and everything went back to how it was.
