The end of the US de minimis exemption for imported goods valued at $800 or less will significantly impact consumers. President Trump's executive order eliminates this tariff exemption, leading to price increases on many products, particularly from China. Many international postal services, including DHL, are temporarily suspending or restricting shipments to the US due to the resulting complexities and lack of clarity in the new regulations. This affects a vast majority of US imports (over 90%), encompassing clothing, footwear, and cosmetics, potentially causing delays and higher prices for consumers.
