U.S. ending of China/Hong Kong de minimis treatment
The United States ended de minimis treatment for low-value shipments from China and Hong Kong, weakening e-commerce models built on low-value direct mail.
Facts
The change brings duties, declaration accuracy, origin, and product compliance to the center of the business model, affecting Temu, Shein, and third-party sellers.
Compliance lessons
Platforms and sellers need to recalculate landed prices, classifications, origin records, return and recall costs, instead of leaving customs risk to logistics providers.
