How do they collect it? What agency collects it? The carrier? USPS, FEDEX? USPS will hold packages until you pony up?

Is a $2 item from China worth $2? Do they deduct shipping cost? Chinese shippers routinely under or over declare value. Sometimes even marked gift.

This remains a petty policy that will do nothing more than hinder commerce and severely clog up the movement of goods. Like pouring hot peanut butter over your keyboard.
