Judge rules Apple executive lied under oath, makes criminal contempt referral (thebignewsletter.com)

I was going to buy a component on Aliexpress and noticed this at checkout: "Item not deliverable to the selected country/region". Did anyone else notice this? Is this because the seller doesn't want to deal with possible customs clearance issues? I have previously bought from this seller without this issue in the past.

AliExpress doesn't really ship much. Most of the sellers just post their goods themselves. So I expect it will highly depend on the actual vendor. AliExpress is just a marketplace.

I had a supplier tell me that the shipments are being held in China until the tariff situation is resolved.

Last I read, shipments from Hong Kong are being blocked by the HK government and DHL is refusing to ship

Can this be circumvented if it got sent to Australia first and from there to the States? Obviously, there is an additional cost. Or is Australia going to get hammered with 145% tariffs?

Could be interpreted as smuggling or customs fraud.
