tl;dr

They’re planning to under declare the value of goods. If a company doesn’t want that, the sellers will handle the shipment on both ends, bringing it through customs at a lower value and then deliver it.

How do other countries deal with this?

      Their supposed plan is to have private companies do it and charge large fees. This would just crush all Aliexpress (as is) demand, though. To keep functioning they would switch to stateside warehousing models or some loophole. They already use their own repackaging service to make there be fewer packages and their own delivery services to bypass USPS, UPS, etc.
