You mean when will US customs allow the free flow of controlled drugs, precursor chemicals, machine gun parts, and counterfeits from Chinese sources direct to your front door through customs again?
Get real, that was never normal, and slow as they are, the government has been moving to close that door for years.
It has little to do with tariffs or trade, or who's in office.
There's been plenty of warning, should've been stocking up in anticipation of this.
Better get what you need domestically before they start running low and jacking up prices.

I wish that could still the case, but we don't have that kind of culture any more.
You can buy automatic, silenced weapons in Switzerland without issue, Military reservists are required to maintain their primary weapon at home, They don't have a significant violent crime problem.
But thats the result of a largely homogenous, well behaved society.
All of that being said. If alcohol, cigarettes, and now pot are legal, surely steroids should be. Unlike other drugs, steroid use isn't harming communities. In fact, steroid users are disproportionately the highest performing members of society, with the only negative being some harm to their long term health in exchange for a more fit body in the short term. They should be legalized.

A guiding principle I have is, I don’t give a fuck what anyone does in the privacy of their own home, as long as you are not hurting anyone, or at least it is consensual.
A lot of things should be legal that are not.

I remember about 20 years ago. Only the brave ordered directly from China. They often even then would only let you order if you zip code started with like a 0-4. If it didn't you had to pay for their remail/domestic service or accept that they wouldn't reship. Some time along the way this changed and it became very common and much easier to order directly from China.

Exactly. It was the flood of packs from China that overwhelmed the ability of customs to control them. The volume is going to drop way down now that there's no tariff advantage to shipping small packs (Temu will ship in bulk, and fill orders from US warehouses for instance), coupled with advances in tech to flag suspicious packs via the additional data required, and fining the logistics companies transporting the packs into oblivion if contraband is found.
Plenty of countries have strict customs and "no ship" or "no reship" policies slapped on them by vendors. The new US system will be closer to that.

Well if it goes back the way it was. The domestic remailer will make a big comeback. I remember asking "what is a remailer." To which I got the response. Remailers are men with balls of steel that take on the risk of getting packages from foreign countries and re-mailing them to you for a small % of the profits. Made me laugh.

This can't be overstated enough. Everybody in Switzerland feels a very strong sense of community and community obligation. Hell, they even have functional bureaucracies for this reason.

Smugglers will always find a way my friend. History has taught us that. The war on drugs can't be won
I remember always having to run to the local grocery store, and fill out a Western Union slip of paper, to send my payment to China to some guy so that I could get my raws shipped out, This was before cryptocurrency was invented obviously. They would change his name monthly sometimes even weekly, you would have to fill out the address,city,name, you would triple, quadruple check everything, to make sure you spelled the name correctly and got the address and everything exact,, because if anything was even a letter or number off you took the risk of the payment not arriving at the intended destination, It was stressful everything had to be done with a a pen and paper.

I remember running around the city from one store to the next because Western Union would be down at one store so you had to find another place that actually had it, and there was always a line you had to stand in because everybody was sending Western Union back then, sometimes it took a half hour longer just till it got your turn to wire your money, lol
This tariff things about to be over, they're already working on a solution, It could only last for so long,it was just a temporary thing, The US wanted China to reduce their tariff rates because they were so damn high for so many years, It was the only way to force people to the table to make a new deal, It's just something we had all go through
They are saying it's going to be something small like 10% on either side, nobody knows yet, China is saying there economical stability relies of tariffs,and refuse to drop them completely,but neither side is getting ahead by charging each other 140% ,we are just trading the same dollar bill back and forth. It's more of a way to save face , neither side looks like they gave in and lost to the other. A deal is about to be agreed on, something small and and reasonable on both sides. I just don't get why they can't drop them completely..0%tariff, we are more than will to match it,but it ain't going to end like that, China wants to charge some kind of tariffs regardless,it's just tit for tat at this point.
