President Donald Trump signed an executive order pausing the suspension of the de minimis exemption for imports from China, allowing the Department of Commerce more time to establish systems for processing tariff revenues. This suspension could have affected over a billion e-commerce packages under $800 from China, prompting retailers like Shein and Temu to stock U.S. warehouses. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) discussed logistical issues due to package backlogs at JFK Airport, while some experts believe removing de minimis may raise prices and cause delays, potentially affecting consumer demand in the long term.
