we could raise the de minimis level (under which no taxes) for all countries from the current 22 Euros to something closer to the US $800
I guess all local businesses competing with e.g. ebay sellers in China would have something to say!

Not directly e.g. shoe retailer that has to charge VAT - cost of collection low. Competing w VAT-free B2C imports cld drive out of business
