US President Donald Trump’s administration ended the section 321 de minimis exemption, which had allowed low-value shipments—under $800—from China to enter the US Duty-free. The sudden removal of this loophole is set to affect millions of shipments from Chinese e-commerce giants, who together account for 30 percent of these direct-to-consumer shipments.
