The Chinese Discount Purchasing website has arrested China’s shipments to the United States, since President Donald Trump ended a escape last month that had allowed duties or tariffs to be raised in small shipments.
He Wall Street Journal He informed that a Temu spokesman confirmed that the company would not send China products to us, and explained that “the change is part of the continuous TeMU settings to improve service levels.”
According to the departure, in “the last days”, Temu has been “changed to label everything as” local “, which means elements that had an alreaty leg imported to the United States in bulk and are sitting in US stores:
In recent days, its website changed everything as “local”, which means elements that had already imported the legs to the US. These articles are usually more expectations than the products that were under the disposal of Minimis and are sent directly to consumers.
In an informative sheet of the White House as of April 2, it was revealed that Trump had signed an executive order to “eliminate tax free The minimis Treatment to low value imports from China. “
The measure was described as a “critical step to counteract the ongoing health emergency raised by the illicit flow of synthetic opioids” in the country.
“After the notification of the Secretary of Commerce that there are adequate systems to raise tariff income, President Trump has Endy without relief The minimis Treatment of goods covered from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Hong Kong from May 2, 2025 at 12:01 am EDT, “says the information sheet.
He Wall Street Journal He added that in fiscal year 2024, “around 1.36 billion shipments” using the The minimis The escape, entered the country. This was an increase of “637 million four years before.”
Breitbart News international editor, Frances Martel, previously reported that Temu and Shein had announced that they planned to increase prices on April 25, in response to Trump closing the escape.
The two companies have benefited significantly from an American service lagoon known as Los Minimis, which exempts shipments from abroad for a value of less than $ 800 of tasks, rates and rigorous laboratories. The vast majority of purchases in both places are well below the limit of $ 800, which guarantees that companies were exempt from paying the tasks to which other retailers were subject.
The information sheet added that “carriers transporting these postal items must inform the details of shipping to customs and border protection of the United States (CBP), maintain an international bonus of international operators to guarantee the payment of taxes and send CBP tasks at an established time.”
