> buying and showing something that is sold legally (like a console purchased from China, which I assume went through customs, or even sold on Amazon in some cases)

Going through customs does not make something legal to buy or possess.

Customs is a spot-check that doesn’t catch everything and Customs cannot possibly verify every single product’s legality.

Many people buy illegal drugs internationally and just hope they get through customs, for example. That doesn’t make it legal.



Well, but they are controlling that, the fact that they fail to check it shouldn't be on you.

But besides that, if they consider that aliexpress is selling illegal stuff, they can easily block access to ali express in the country, decline all credit card transactions to ali express, block in customs any package coming from ali express... since is basically a criminal organization. I mean, they are selling the product in amazon.it and you put in jail a reviewer?

I don't think putting in jail a customer that is just reviewing what he bought is the way to go.
