De minimis provision under scrutiny as over one billion packages entered in 2023, raising concerns of unfair competition, labor rights violations, and smuggling, especially of fentanyl.
Opposition from various sectors, including textile manufacturers, human rights advocates, and law enforcement, highlights the need to block textiles and apparel from being imported through de minimis.
Defenders argue against restricting de minimis, stating it acts as a regressive tax increase that hampers supply chains, harms small businesses, and does not strengthen trade law enforcement at borders.
