Trump Considers Revoking Tariff Exemptions on Cheap Shipments from China
President Donald Trump is contemplating the revocation of tariff exemptions on low-value shipments from China, a move that could significantly impact e-commerce giants like Shein and Temu. This decision comes as part of a broader strategy to address the synthetic opioid supply chain originating from China, as outlined in a recent White House amendment.
The proposed changes target the 'de minimis' trade loophole, which allows goods valued under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free. The White House has announced that this exemption will end on May 2, 2025, aiming to curb the influx of cheap goods and potentially reduce the flow of synthetic opioids into the country.
This policy shift has sparked concerns among businesses that rely on the de minimis threshold for their operations. Critics argue that ending the exemption could lead to higher prices for consumers and disrupt supply chains. However, supporters believe it is a necessary step to protect American industries and address national security concerns related to the opioid crisis.
