In a move to strengthen enforcement and address trade loopholes, the Biden administration has proposed new rules aimed at restricting low-value imports, particularly from China. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has outlined plans to limit the de minimis exemption that currently allows goods valued at $800 or less to enter the country duty-free. This change is part of a broader strategy to enhance oversight and curb abuse of low-value shipment provisions, especially by e-commerce platforms like Temu and Amazon. The White House’s efforts reflect ongoing concerns over the impact of low-cost imports on U.S. businesses and the desire to ensure fair trade practices.
