SeanB:
Here the solution was to simply charge a "handling fee" on all incoming small packet and small parcel items, and if the declared value total for a year exceeds a threshold you have to pay customs duty on the lot every year end. Does mean a $1 with shipping packet, comes in with you having to pay $2.50 as fee. Sucks if the order was sent as 5 or 10 small packets if you ordered multiple, as the seller has them ready packed and just puts the sticker on it, then dumps it into a bag to go via China post. Only way the Post office is going to make any money, as almost nobody sends actual mail these days, and sending a parcel by them is also expensive, and not guaranteed to be delivered at all.

In Norway this was introduced 1st april 2020; at checkout
eBay adds 25% VAT. The sellers are supposed to mark the
shipment with a code to say that VAT has been paid. This
does not always happen, so I've added it in "street address 2".

I am wondering what US will do or are they already doing it?

Well, it does, because if it weren't for Brexit we'd be bringing this in in six months along with the rest of the EU in a unified system which would be far less disruptive to our trade.
