#TrumpTariffs

President of the United States Donald Trump signed a decree to reduce the customs duty on inexpensive Chinese goods from 120% to 54% starting May 14, 2025 (this applies to goods from Temu and Shein).

The new rules concern the "di minimis" scheme, which previously allowed the import of goods worth up to 800$ without duties and with minimal inspections. Over 90% of postal parcels in the USA come through "di minimis", of which 60% are from China.
