One of the reasons I upgraded my phone this month is that I was worried about tariffs hiking prices.
"The United States is suspending a "de minimis" exemption that allowed low-value commercial shipments to be shipped to the United States without facing tariffs, the White House said on Wednesday.
Under an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, packages valued at or under $800 sent to the U.S. outside of the international postal network will now face "all applicable duties" starting on August 29, the White House said.
Trump earlier targeted packages from China and Hong Kong. The tax and spending bill recently signed by Trump repealed the legal basis for the de minimis exemption worldwide starting on July 1, 2027.
"Trump is acting more quickly to suspend the de minimis exemption than the OBBBA requires, to deal with national emergencies and save American lives and businesses now," the White House said, referring to the bill known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Goods shipped through the postal system will face one of two tariffs: either an "ad valorem duty" equal to the effective tariff rate of the package's country of origin or, for six months, a specific tariff of $80 to $200 depending on the country of origin's tariff rate.
Between 2015 and 2024, the annual volume of de minimis shipments entering the U.S. increased from 134 million shipments to over 1.36 billion shipments. U.S. Customs processes over 4 million daily de minimis shipments.
This month, Reuters reporte air cargo shipment volume from Asia has declined by 10.7% since the U.S. canceled the tax-free exemption for low-value packages from China early in May.
Since May 2, however, shipments sent from China and Hong Kong have been taxed at a rate initially as high as 145% before settling to as low as 30% after a mid-May trade detente between the U.S. and China.
Low-value e-commerce out of Asia has been making up an increasing proportion of global air freight and boosting airlines' cargo businesses.
Last year such shipments - at 1.2 million metric tons - made up 55% of goods shipped from China to the U.S. by air compared to just 5% in 2018. They have been used by companies like low-cost e-commerce platforms such as Shein and PDD's (PDD.O), opens new tab Temu.
Republican U.S. Senator Jim Banks of Indiana praised the action, saying "for too long, countries like China have flooded our markets with duty-free, cheap imports.""

My Dear Black Bruthas and Sistas.
Yall need to stop being so muthafuckin racist towards white people.
Every device you use to cry about racism was invented by white people.
The social media platforms yall use were invented by white people.
Facebook was invented by white people.
Twitter was invented by white people.
TikTok was invented by Asian people, but that’s almost the same thing as white people to yall.
The iPhone was invented by white people.
The desktop computer was invented by white people but the monitor was invented by a Black man!
Even the muthafuckin telephone yall oldheads use to complain about TRUMP to your friends was invented by white people.
If it wasn’t for white people, yall wouldn’t have shit to use to lie about how racist everything is for you.
So shut the fuck up and enjoy being alive in 2025 America.
I've always thought ill of him because of that one episode... Shit seemed to natural for him... All makes sense now

What people are also not noticing is the cannibalizing of America. Investors in Other countries are buying up businesses and land in America and the top 1% has kicked their greed into high gear. The price of goods are steadily increasing, while salaries are not. The prices will never be anywhere near what they were
White folk have found a way to stabilize their declining control by convincing the people that minority immigrants is the problem. Trump is steadily taking away from the citizens while deporting minorities. This is just stacking the political cards in the republicans' favor. White people are easy to control, just give them a boogie man aka minority group to focus on, and you can openly do almost anything.
Irony....
The people of this planet are so controlled by greed, they have created euphemisms to denote capital as investors and proletariat as citizens. The ability of the people in power to change the definition of words in real time is the real MVP.
