   I get that it is a shame for you personally. Despite this I think high processing fees are good. First of all, it addresses the issue of people in the EU importing things we really do not need. Secondly, if it is something you really want then it can be imported at a noticible (but managable) premium. If the set of die are special, then paying 3 (or even 10) euro extra would, in my opinion, be fine

      What right do you have to tell me what i do or do not need?

      What an absolutely evil stance to have.

         I want to reduce the amount of trash being shipped straight from China to our landfills. And yes, that will come at the expense of some things. Is that evil? In my opinion it is a necessary solution to a problem

            I think you are missing the big picture. The ones importing “trash” (as you call it) in relevant quantities are bigger businesses and companies.

               Sure, you are in part correct. Fast fashion, cheap electronic that breaks in a few years, and are also problems.

               But there can be more problems than one. I'm discussing the one that the article mentioned.

            Ok, so yet another misguided eco-terrorism motivation that does nothing except reduce our quality of life.

            Whats wrong with landfills?

            There is no problem here other than your eco-neuroticism. Stop doing evil things.
