The U.S. government’s efforts to close loopholes in import regulations regarding low-value shipments, particularly those exploited by Chinese e-commerce giants like Shein and Temu, are unlikely to significantly alter the current landscape, according to Xeneta. With over a billion shipments entering the U.S. duty-free each year, demand for low-cost goods is not diminishing. While new de minimis regulations may slightly raise prices, the substantial price gap with American retailers will persist. Additionally, the air freight market is set for challenges due to rising shipment volumes and costs, especially as the peak season approaches.
