Overview
President Trump has paused the imposition of tariffs on low-value packages from China due to concerns about processing capabilities at Customs. The move allows agencies time to establish systems amidst rising volumes of cross-border e-commerce. The decision reflects bipartisan support to reconsider tariff exemptions which have led to significant growth in Chinese exports. Critics warn the halt could cause higher prices and delays for consumers, while supporters emphasize affordability. The U.S. Postal Service and logistics firms are adapting to the revenue collection changes as the de minimis exemption's end looms, amid shifting e-commerce dynamics.
