This move will impact companies like Alibaba and Shein, which heavily relied on the de minimis exemption to ship goods directly to US consumers. US President Trump’s tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China aim to close a loophole that allowed duty-free imports of small packages under $800, targeting especially Chinese e-commerce retailers.
