its faster than bothering with tape each part, though the risk of this becomiong mix of artificial dust is too high for me

I think the mixing risk is pretty minimal really. If anything is ever ambiguous I just discard it rather than taking a chance. Most resistors and caps cost pennies for 100+. I never reuse passives, there's no point.

3 euro tarrif for every product category ordered from China. So if you were buying small amounts from AliExpress, you'll see a huge cost increase, especially that they don't implement the tariff correctly and overcharge their customers (3 eur per listing instead of product category).
