Biden targets Shein, Temu with new rules to curb alleged ‘abuse’ of U.S. trade loophole
A new rule proposal from the Biden administration would prohibit products that are subject to U.S.-China tariffs from being eligible for a special customs exemption.
The de minimis loophole allows packages with a value of less than $800 to enter the United States with relatively little scrutiny.
Officials say a recent explosion in the number of de minimis shipments is due largely to Chinese-linked online retail giants like Shein and Temu.
