How would it be enforced? It is around 16 000 000 packages per day.

Robots is the only way.
Robots doing what?
Checking packages, with humanoids and other forms of robotics, it's possible that law enforcement will become efficient. Right now almost any package containing illegal substance will cross the US/EU without issue, that's due to human flaws, robots will be so much better at detecting stealth and so-on (also because Scent and Xray and so-on will be built-in them), the exact reason illicit marketplaces available on Tor exists is because of human flaws.
Checking what? Should they open 16 million packages per day and check if they have a CE sign that anyone can just fake?
