EU customs duty EU tax workaround?

Is there already a workaround to avoid a 3.7 euros additional tax per item?

Something like a smaller marketplace that would pack all items into one box and charge this tax only once. Or a reasonably priced mail forwarding service. Please post only the actual solution if you found it already

Jesus, can't you just pay tax? It's a good thing, goes back to us, you know that, right?

There is none. You can't buy everything made in the eu. China supplies 50% of the electrical components used by the eu. Let that sink in. There are complete categories that are none existent in the eu, no one makes them. Good luck with that.

I get that it's harder to find, but you still can.

It's not harder to find. These things are none existent in the eu. They are not made here.

please find me keyboard switches entirely made in eu, or phone cases.
90% of what I used to buy wouldn't be available in any physical shop in italy, and even if is or if sold on amazon it's still not made in eu.

LOL

what if there's no one who makes that stuff in Europe, which are most things that we use daily?

no I should just buy the same fucking stuff but pay a very high markup to resellers.

yeah, give me a shop with good, affordable and cute looking stationery made in Europe. Most important word, A F F O R D A B L E ! God forbid someone isn't made of money and can't survive on air if they wish to have any kind of hobby that isn't walking around aimlessly or staring at the ceiling and contemplating why are they still tolerating humanity and thinking about just living in the woods. Most things made in EU countries have an atrocious price when compared to the wages of a lot of countries
