    The European Union is close to adding extra taxes to orders imported from China. Some countries like the Netherlands, Belgium and France don't want to wait for that and are in the process of adding 2 euros per order line to any order that comes outside of the EU.
    So e.g. if you order some smt resistors that normally costed 0,50 euro that will become 2,50 that is without transport costs and import rights. Which is ridiculous.

    Now for most of the components it's not a big problem. I stopped ordering from AliExpress a long time ago - at least for critical and precise components or breakouts. Since most you get from there is B quality, meaning it didn't pass the quality tests from the manufacturer.

    TME for example is a good alternative to LCSC Electronics. Fast delivery not that much more expensive, but also good service and good quality. With more expensive I mean that the total costs including transport costs aren't that much higher then ordering from China. Especially with the new taxes.

    I'm looking for an alternative for PCBs. But so far I haven't found one European based that is also affordable. I found one that asks 40 euros instead of the 3 euros a PCB costs when you buy from PCBWay or JLCPCB e.g.

    So if you have some good alternatives, then I'm all ears.
