all these same products are being sold by amazon, the difference being they're being marked up 400% due to drop ship/middlemen. that's it. that's the difference here, it's who is profiting. the manufacturers are the same, it's the same exact products.
The biggest difference is if they go thru Amazon's logistics they still have to abide by custom laws, containers are randomly checked, and they pay the same tariff as any other importer. Unlike De minimus that gets the individual package around tougher scrutiny.
If nothing else, this has a chance of doing things like helping stop hazardous products (electronics with cheaply-made batteries that might catch fire for example) entering the country.
Like how Amazon does it with their products coming from china sellers?
This will theoretically stop that from being such a hazard as well.
Hopefully it does
I'm sure they will do their best to find loopholes, but if we're lucky, this will at least mitigate the problem.
