Market has already did the thing. In this case it's protecting local retailers who import in bulk over consumers importing individually.

For phone cases, maybe, but not for everything under 150 EUR…
On top of that, local retailers have to comply with EU regulations etc. while Chinese imports are notorious for not following safety/recycling standards etc., which unbalances the playing field away from local retailers anyway.
Frequently it is exactly the same item from aliexpress or from local reseller. Depends for different types of course.
