Is it correct to say the consumer is importing a product when it's aliexpress shipping it to them? | ||

Of course. What situation are you imagining where a country imports a product without the seller shipping the product to that country? | ||

They have initiated the transaction. It would be "shipping to them" if somebody is sending them something by their own volition. | ||

Particularly if AliExpress is paying local VAT and import taxes (or at least dealing with the import paperwork) or even less if it’s from one of their local (UK/EU etc) warehouses | ||

yes, aliexpress would not be shipping it if the consumer did not order it. | ||

Unless AliExpress has a local entity, like they do in some countries, yes. | ||
