It's the price of uncertainty.

Business can plan for low tax or high tax regimes. Not so much when it's just "unknown".

I was wondering how this would affect the programmer that was sending people Japanese candy packages back in the day, but apparently they shut it down already due to postal restrictions and related increases in postal rates during Covid. Now I'm curious who survived that but is shutting down due to this.

This was always a completely insane loophole that the item on Amazon was much more expensive than the exact same item on Temu.
