Soooo....I guess he's putting Amazon out of business then?
I guess my favorite hobby of drinking and ordering a truck load of product from Temu just to see how crappy it is is over.
Cutting off Shein, Temu, and probably the Tik Tok shop may be what finally results in revolution.
I don't know whether to laugh or hug you.
Doesn’t this just funnel business to UPS and FedEx?
It doesn’t say it bans parcels, it says USPS is not importing them.
@bunsen82 the play here is buy UPS and FedEx options, right?
Oh, ok. Yet another way this administration is trying to increase costs for Americans.
No, the play is to kill e-commerce from China. When you order from Ali Express it would pass through customs and get forwarded to the USPS and mailed to your house. He already ****ed it by adding the tariffs to all order instead of the <$800 exemption.
I’d seen mention of potential changes to the de minimus rules, hadn’t seen that it had been acted upon yet.
Any reason they can’t shift to shipping through others? Aside from their need to expand capacity?
I feel that I’ve ordered stuff from China that didn’t deliver via USPS. I know I’ve dealt with various tracking sites, and I know usps wasn’t the final leg for some of that stuff.
I've had orders come directly through UPS from a manufacture in China but it was under $800. The one order I brought in over was done through DHL. DHL sets up a link and allows you to pay the tariff while it is in transit. I haven't seen anything on UPS or Fed ex that shows they provide the service. All orders had to clear customs in China and the US.
I can't even imagine the logistics of handling the coding and tariffs on the millions and millions of small packages that we order daily. Even much of the the products from Amazon ships direct from China, they take 7 to 10 days normally. That's done now too. On the bright side, I have a few transmitters I can list on E-Bay as in the US pre-tariff.
I guess that means no more Trump Ties.
It’s beginning to look like Joel is never gonna get his HOKAs.
all apple products including macs i’ve bought have always shipped from within usa. who do you order from?
It's been a known loophole on China tariffs for a while.
The Biden administration announced new steps on Friday to curtail what it calls the “overuse and abuse” of a longstanding trade law that permits low-value shipments to enter the United States without paying import duties and processing fees.
The steps include a new rule proposal, which would bar overseas shipments of products that are subject to U.S.-China tariffs from being eligible for the special customs exemption.
Known as the de minimis loophole, the trade provision allows packages with a value of less than $800 to enter the United States with relatively little scrutiny. Over the past decade, the number of de minimis shipments has exploded, from roughly 140 million to more than a billion, according to a White House estimate.
“The drastic increase in de minimis shipments has made it increasingly difficult to target and block illegal or unsafe shipments coming into the U.S.,” Daleep Singh, deputy national security advisor for international economics, told reporters on a Thursday call to preview the actions.
Officials say the explosion in de minimis shipments is largely driven by a few Chinese-linked online retail giants like Shein and Temu, which use the exemption to ship millions of dollars worth of clothing and inexpensive household goods from factories in China directly to American customers.
Each individual package is typically worth far less than $800, and thereby qualifies for the de minimis exemption.
But new eligibility restrictions for products that are subject to tariffs under Section 301, Section 201 and Section 232 — like the ones proposed Friday — could upend this business model.
“Since approximately 70% of Chinese textile and apparel imports are subject to section 301 tariffs, this step will drastically reduce the number of shipments entering through the de minimis exemption,” said Singh.
In addition to the proposed tariff rules, the White House also announced plans for a new rule to “require specific, additional data for de minimis shipments – including the 10-digit tariff classification number and the person claiming the de minimis exemption,” according to a fact sheet.
