It's also to going to inhibit US buyers from buying direct from China. Consider this little gadget. It mounts on the handlebars. Converts 10-60 volts DC to a pair of 5V USB ports (old style). Has a red LED voltmeter that I can see most of the time.

I moved it to the downtube on a recent conversion. I can keep a pair of front/rear rechargeable lights powered up or power a handlebar cam. It only cost about 12 bucks shipped de minimus. They
are not going to make this in the USA. Let me buy it for 12 bucks. I did buy two,

Summary: Neither DHL nor anyone else understands how to ship to the USA because the rules are unclear.

ends with:
"DHL is closely monitoring the further developments and is in contact with U.S. authorities, together with its European partners. The company's goal is to resume postal goods shipping to the U.S. as quickly as possible."

Court rulings apparently don't matter. We just let illegal activity continue.

Yes. Or they decide the activity was illegal later, and nobody gets punished. Wake me when you see otherwise.


My bet is that this is sorted in 2 weeks or less.

Don't hold your breath or you will end up like that skeleton. Hell, if rules and laws mattered the crook would already have been in jail for 4 years. At least.

Well we just have to wait until companies like CYC and Bafang and others move all their production to America in response to tariffs.
