U.S. proposes new rules to limit duty-free entry of low-value goods, targeting e-commerce shipments from China.

The U.S. is proposing new rules to tighten the "de minimis" exemption, allowing goods valued at $800 or less to enter duty-free. The proposal excludes products subject to tariffs under various sections of the Trade Act, targeting low-value shipments from China, particularly from e-commerce giants like Shein and Temu. This move aims to reduce the influx of foreign goods, protect American businesses, and enhance customs' ability to intercept illicit items.
