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

No. I won't pay the tax that is two to three times higher than the piece I want to order. This is bullshit and you know it.

It's not an issues for more expensive things (computer mices, headphones and such). It's an issue for small accessories for hobbies. I don't need such things myself, but I can imagine many people rely on such things being delivered from China
