Look at the UK.

Their new rules have stopped most importers because of all the extra paperwork and no easy way to do it digitally. So instead of dealing with all the headache, they just stopped shipping there all together.

It is a mess right now if you are in the UK and have to import items.

It really comes down to what pixote and Animatic33 have stated. And as always, when taxation causes additional work and/or costs for companies, they will almost always pass that cost onto the customer.

I personally think both the duty and taxes structure needs to change to mirror the modern world, as well as how companies charges these “admin”, “import fees”, etc.
