Buyers benefited a little this week from a gigantic tariff on previously cheap and tax-free Chinese products. However, the tariffs that still persist could affect the buying habits of millions of Americans shopping on ultra-low-priced e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu.

The Trump administration has reduced its tariff on "de minimis" packages, or shipments of goods valued at $800 or less, from China, from 120% to 54%, and has lowered it from 145% to 30% for packages from commercial carriers. The option for a fixed fee of $100 will also not increase to $200 per postal shipment starting June 1, as previously planned, according to an executive order issued on Monday that takes effect after midnight on Wednesday.
