As shipments from Chinese e-commerce sites surged, with claims of duty-free exemptions increasing dramatically, the Biden administration proposed new rules to curb abuse through tariffs and inspections.
With the number of shipments claiming the de minimis exemption skyrocketing from 140 million to over one billion, the U.S. is taking steps to enforce inspection and tariffs on Chinese products.
Under new rules, the U.S. will restrict de minimis exemptions for goods subject to existing tariffs, aiming to ensure consumer safety while addressing the rapid growth of Chinese e-commerce.
Amid growing concerns about safety and compliance, House Democrats are pressing the Biden administration to close the de minimis loophole that allows hazardous products from companies like Shein and Temu.
