I agree with your statement except that their entire business model revolves around exploiting a de minimus rule such that it isn’t beneficial to the USA. Their should be a limitation against a shipper exceeding a certain threshhold value of shipments into the USA before they need to start paying tarriffs.
I think you could adjust the rule so that it covered this situation, but didn’t cover shippers who specifically created fast shipping to avoid tarriffs and keep the processing outside the country.
That being said, I benefited from this when I ordered my Prusa 3d printer and I believe it was purposely priced exactly under the threshhold so that I would avoid the tarriff.
