Why would you need to ban something that's illegal?

Because making something illegal down mean you actually check for it, intercept them at customs, or prevent them from being able to be accessed
You miss my point. You said these products were already illegal.
I don’t miss your point, you miss mine.

There is a difference between saying something is illegal, an actually preventing it from being accessed.

If you say a Chinese product is illegal, but you let people order it anyway, you made it illegal but didn’t actually ban it from entering the country
