I don't understand why there isn't a market or company that develop already to move all items to low tariff area before sending to US.

I know that manufacturing things here in Europe, there already used to be round trip by airplane and co to try to lower VAT paid on purchases to the maximum.

Because it is not allowed and it does not count. It is the origin country that counts, even if you ship via another 3rd party country.
