EPAUS President Donald Trump stopped the customs tariff on small packages from China, after the sudden matter that ends with his exempt from the customs duties of shipments that are less than $ 800 of US postal service and other agencies that are scrambling.
The postal service temporarily stopped accepting packages from China as a result of the request, only to reflect the path after one day.
The chaos left many in the United States wondering about the fate of the required packages from companies such as Shein and TEMU, which used the low -value package exemption to expand quickly in the United States.
Trump changed at the end of last week as part of a wider decision to raise border taxes on goods from China by 10 % on February 4.
His review to the matter said on Friday that the transaction free from the customs tariffs of packages from China with a value of less than $ 800 will remain valid until “completely sufficient systems, quickly, quickly and collecting customs tariff revenues.”
The move comes at a time when some other quick changes that Trump announced since he took office last month at road barriers, including legal challenges.
He said at the end of last week that he was putting a 25 % tariff on the goods from Mexico and Canada, before hanging these duties quickly for a month to allow the conversations to continue.
On Friday, Trump said he expected to announce a “mutual tariff” in many countries next week, a plan that he set on the Campaign’s path imposed by the United States on definitions at the same rates that other provinces apply to equivalent products in us.
The United States has begun to reconsider the low -value package exemption, known as De Minimis, before Trump entered his post.
The Biden Administration in September suggested tightening the rules for such packages from China, saying that this step will help us compete for companies and address the challenges that prevent illegal drug shipments.
In 2016, the United States raised the threshold of customs duties and other fees from $ 200 to $ 800 to facilitate trade and allow officials to focus on higher priority charges.
However, this decision faced criticism because e -commerce has expanded rapidly and the number of packages that enter the United States increased by a limit of $ 800 from 140 million to more than 1.3 billion last year.
