That's not a proper solution and I hope it isn't the one that my country of residence, Norway, will choose. It is simple protectionism. And it is extremely regressive. If they want to figure out a way to efficiently charge the VAT that would be different (even though VAT is also a regressive tax). Charging a USD 15 fee to apply the USD 1 VAT to the USD 4 cost of the goods I have just received from China is absurd.
