This is going to absolutely wreck Temu, SHEIN, aliexpress and an a gaggle of Amazon sellers.
That's good. Those goods are straight from factory to landfill, with only a brief operational life.
Good. Those sites are only useful for garbage anyways.
I buy a lot of electronic parts from AliExpress and they're actually decent quality. Many of these stores also sell on Amazon but charge way more since the product is already in the US and arrives in 2 days versus 2 weeks.
Is that a bad thing?
No
Good. They’re trash
De minimus -
:lacking significance or importance
:so minor as to merit disregard
Cracking Down on De Minimis Shipments
🤨🙋♂️
[…] addressing the significant increased abuse of the de minimis exemption, in particular China-founded e-commerce platforms, and strengthening efforts to target and block shipments that violate U.S. laws.
Ohhhhhhhh
There is no reason for a factory in China to get nearly free shipping in America when it costs 20x for the American business. They can import through standard channels and tariffs and then distribute in the US if they want to do business. Just try and send a gift to someone in China and you will pay 50-100x the cost the other way.
Tminus 3 days till a judge in Texas somehow preemptively shuts this down.....
No I'm not jaded at all....
all these same products are being sold by amazon, the difference being they're being marked up 400% due to drop ship/middlemen. that's it. that's the difference here, it's who is profiting. the manufacturers are the same, it's the same exact products.
The biggest difference is if they go thru Amazon's logistics they still have to abide by custom laws, containers are randomly checked, and they pay the same tariff as any other importer. Unlike De minimus that gets the individual package around tougher scrutiny.
about time.
Biden is well past being a lame duck. He's simply a dead duck.
