US ends tax-free entry for low-value packages from China, worrying e-commerce businesses.

The US has ended a policy allowing low-value packages from China to enter without import taxes, causing concerns over potential price increases and shortages. This change, supported by traditional retailers, has led to worries about smaller e-commerce businesses failing. Advocates say the system kept prices low and options plentiful, while critics argue it was abused and facilitated counterfeit goods.
