    Why?

    For example, i can order 25 $ Handguards for my bike, that are 100% identical to the original part, which costs 120 €

    I’m with you on certain things, but some companies just make a lot of money with overprizing

      Am I missing something? The original costs 125 (why do you mention $, in the EU we pay in €??). Now you buy them for 25+3+6, so you still make a profit of 91? This new tax is not to prohibit you from buying Chinese. It’s intended to stop the flow of cheap products coming in, which is eroding European industry at a rapid pace. The choice is yours, do you want to protect our EU industry, or do you want to surrender all jobs China?
