The Biden administration's decision to limit de minimis rules aims to protect American manufacturers by imposing tariffs on a flood of Chinese shipments that have surged in recent years.
The de minimis trade rule, intended for negligible shipments, has been exploited by companies like Shein, allowing them to gain substantial market share without paying tariffs.
With over one billion packages entering the U.S. under de minimis provisions in 2023, compared to just 140 million a decade ago, the import landscape has transformed.
This proposal could drastically impact large Chinese importers, potentially leveling the playing field for U.S. manufacturers who have been struggling under competition from cheap foreign goods.
