Watch what happens when UPS or DHL sign up for UPU because USPS refuses to be a carrier ...  :-DD

Edit: actually this is going to be fun. Watch what happens when we end up with a thousand reciprocal agreements between countries. "I want to send a package to Elbonia - how much is it". Postmaster hauls out a 12 inch thick book of rates, looks one up, "that's $24". Whaaaa! Then it gets nicked on its way through Wakanda because that was the cheapest path for the sender  :-DD.

This planet needs to be less territorial.

They negotiate fees based on cost rather than social justice (or in the case of China UPU fees perversion of social justice).

I get pcb's made in China.
On one assignment I was contacted by customs and asked for proof of payment for the goods.
They do check up now and then.

Or you'll just get the same stuff at a ramped up price, still fractionally below US manufactured stuff, drop shipped or imported by cartels.

Don't get excited. Nothing will change  :-//

Here our postal service appears to be subsidised with unaddressed junk mail. Far more annoying.

They cannot do it without paying 25% tariffs.  Today they don't pay tariff on shipments less than around $400, but if they ship in advance to the US to a warehouse, then they will have to pay the tariffs
