The recent White House executive order alters the de minimis tariff on Chinese shipments from 120% to 54%, retaining a flat fee of $100. This decision follows an agreement between the U.S. and China to ease trade tensions. The de minimis rule, allowing tax-free entry of packages valued up to $800, faced scrutiny for enabling an influx of inexpensive goods into the U.S. The change is seen as a response to bipartisan concerns over tariff loopholes and illicit goods entering via e-commerce channels.
The United States would cut the low value de minimis tariff on China shipments to 54% from 120%, with a flat fee of $100 remaining.
The de minimus exemption for items valued at up to $800 were previously able to enter the United States duty free and with minimal inspections.
