They was fine with american products flooding their market and now they complains about chinese products?
This is not comparable as Chinese low-quality items are traded at a far higher volume. After the U.S. removed the de minimis-rule, for example, Air freight capacity between China and the U.S. dropped by almost a third.
Europe is now also planning to charge a €2 flat fee on small parcels from outside bloc:
In 2024, 4.6 billion such packages entered the EU - more than 145 per second - with 91% originating in China. The EU expects the numbers to rise.
[The EU’s trade chief Maros] Sefcovic said the figure represents a “completely new challenge to the control, to the safety, to making sure that the standards are properly checked of the products which are shipped to the European Union”.

Nothing on the article on your comment makes any sense. I’m not sure if there’s some way to interpret the article that even makes it coherent. (Was it translated by AI?)
Anyway, the source is “a Brazilian government official, who noted that so far, no significant increase has been observed”. So, it’s a shitty report about some random person spewing bullshit over no real event at all. Besides, there’s nothing there about US imports changing in value either.
