as for imports from China, in my country (an EU one):
Before 2022, parcels declared under cca 22 USD were exempt from VAT, meaning their import was totally free.
Now, we pay:
- value added tax (think sales tax in the US) on ALL imports
- import tax on the goods above cca 150 USD.
Just for those who don't seem to have any clues about global context...

It's not gonna be EU-like, because the EU has created the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) before removing that exemption. https://vat-one-stop-shop.ec.e... [europa.eu]
This means that the tax is already paid and the package declared when it reaches customs, so it's actually faster than when there was an exemption.
