š¤ÆImagine itās a chill Saturday and someone casually drops this Trump updateāboom,ā the āde minimisā rule is gone. Thatās the rule that let you get packages under $800 from China with no tax. So yeah, your cheap Shein fits, Temu gadgets, and AliExpress finds? Theyāre about to cost more.
Trump's saying enough is enoughāChinaās been shipping tax-free while U.S. businesses have been stuck paying full freight. His move is meant to shut down that loophole and give American sellers a fair shot.

Now? Expect price hikes on your favorite low-cost imports, and maybe some delays too. But for American sellers, this could be a long-awaited break. Itās a major shift in trade dynamics.
