The USA reduces customs on Chinese shipments of low value
Recall that in early May, the US government decided to abolish Bescarin imports of small value shipments from China and Hong Kong, removing the exemption on the basis of the De Mining Regulation, which used e-trait platforms such as Shein and theme. Products worth up to $ 800 that arrive by mail from China since the beginning of May have been subject to customs in the amount of 120 percent of the package value or a unique $ 100 package fee. That fee was to be doubled in June.
But now the White House has decided to reduce the customs on the shipment to 54 percent, and that decision followed only a few hours after Beijing and Washington reached a decree to lower the customs duties introduced on April 2. The introduction of a fixed fee of $ 200 will also be delayed, that is, a previous $ 100 fee will be held.
The number of shipments that immorts into the United States has increased in recent years, so more than 90 percent of all packages used the exemption from the payment of customs by ‘de minimis’ rule. Of these, about 60 percent came from China, led by online stores such as theme and Sheina.
The American ‘de Minimis’ rule dating from 1938, the target is increasing criticisms of both democratic and Republican legislators. Some of them sought ‘abolition of that rum in the law’ that allows cheap Chinese products to flood the US and undermine the US industry, while serving as a cover for smuggling of illegal goods such as drugs and substances needed for them.
Otherwise, the EU plans to abolish its immovable packets ordered by the Internet, which are worth less than 150 euros, but only in 2028. In the meantime, France is advocated by the introduction of small value packages that arrive in the EU from 2026 to be established by greater control over Chinese internet platforms such European consumers without customs.
