In my opinion there's no need to panic. This ban is a couple of weeks old and stock has been coming through. I checked with my Hong Kong suppliers and was told that they were aware of this ban but did not consider it a problem. It is only shipments from Hong Kong that are being checked (sporadically) and they can always ship from the mainland. There are ways around any ban. It does cause an increase in shipping and broker handling costs which will result in higher retail price, but the product will be available.
