So they banned themselves from the rest of the world?
reply
It's not banning, just cutoms are extra pain in the ass. Like, if you live in EU, it's easier to buy physical meatspace stuff from EU. Although I bought my Japanses made Hardkernel Odroid HC4, which runs my home Bitcoin and Lightning node, from UK shop after brexit, needed to go through all customs procedures and pay extra taxes on receiving.

Customs are just a way to extort more. Markets should be free, not restricted with bullshit regulations about perishable, "dangerous" or "prohibited" items.

There are current world realities we need to deal with. If I refuse to go through customs procedures and pay those extra taxes, they will just refuse to give that package to me.
