On September 13, 2024, the U.S. administration announced plans to curb the misuse of the de minimis exemption, particularly concerning e-commerce platforms based in China. A proposed rule will exclude 40% of imports from this exemption, enhance data requirements, and mandate Certificates of Compliance (CoC) for importers. This aims to obstruct unsafe products and ensure compliance with U.S. laws. The increase in de minimis shipments from 140 million to over one billion annually, mainly from China, raises concerns over consumer safety and fair competition for American businesses.
