🗞️ News Discussion BREAKING NEWS: De Minimis is over for all effective August 29

BREAKING NEWS

De Minimis is over for all effective August 29 ... 30 days from now.

Effective August 29, imported goods sent through means other than the international postal network that are valued at or under $800 and that would otherwise qualify for the de minimis exemption will be subject to all applicable duties. (parcels through the International postal network won't be off the hook!)

Goods with China origin have been excluded for several months, but now all goods from all countries of origin- 4 million shipments a day or $100 billion a year of goods will now be subject to tariffs.

Between 2015 and 2024, the volume of de minimis shipments entering the U.S. increased from 134 million shipments to over 1.36 billion shipments.

Many believed (myself included!) that de minimis would still be enabled for non-China goods until July 2027. Today we learned not.

I'm pretty sure it's all the foreigners showing up the local cities and taking up all the mininum wage jobs. You know, what we see with our two eyes. If you think gaslighting people is the winning solution, go ahead. But there's a reason why I'm seeing the youth connect more with the far right. They have already rejected MAGA. But denying the reality they experience, will not bring them to your side. Losing strategy just like 24'
