EU does not demand foreign company collect their own internal taxes and send them over.

There is a reason shipping stopped.

Look at my other comment. Most countries in the EU levy their own import fees that essentially make any de minimis in practice null.

US consumers have long enjoyed the privilege of actual de minimis, that is straight to their door, no fuss, no additional fees goods below the threshold.

		They dont demand it. Its a possibility that the company can do to make shipping easier for the customer. If they dont, the package will be inspected in the destination country and taxed there. Making the shipment take longer and more expensive for the customer, as shipment companies levy additional fees.
