So for now, the days of buying small cheap items off AliExpress and the like are now over as the new EU import tariff comes into effect. Here in Spain it will mean a 3€ charge _per item_ within any package meaning that buying anything cheap directly from China is no longer such an affordable option. So now we have to buy the same (crap mostly) items at inflated costs from EU based suppliers.
AliExpress (and the like) already have EU warehouses so whether this will really have the desired result or not is doubtful...
