Holding a consumer liable for the broken crap they order would be just, but political infeasible as long as there is someone else to blame.

Why even have consumer laws then if consumers are punished if their Samsung phone explodes?
It depends if Samsung is imported by a consumer or a company that takes liability
So pretty much just pay for the stamp from a shell company that will shield the legal risk? So just more expensive for consumers and more profit for lawyers that can just set up single purpose shell companies to sign off on the import?
