NEW YORK, August 29 - The U.S. administration on Friday ended duty-free imports of packages worth less than $800, known as the “de minimis” exemption, a decision that increases costs for retailers around the world selling to the U.S. and will likely cause prices to rise for American shoppers.
President Donald Trump announced on July 30 the repeal of the duty-free treatment of parcels from every country, effective a month later.
With this, the administration has expanded a decision in May to impose tariffs on these shipments from China and Hong Kong, affecting retailers such as Shein and Temu, which primarily ship from China.
Karen, repubblican voter, frequent customer of Shein, is gonna be pleasantly surprised when the price of her shitty clothes starts skyrocketting.
So. Much. Winning.
She’s gonna blame it all on “Obama and his trans wife”, though
I mean he wore a tan suit, no wonder the world is going to shits.
It wasn’t just the tariffs that these packages were avoiding. But also health and safety regulations. Not to mention that much of the supply side was coercive to outright forced labor. Shein and Temu deserve to die.
Actually, Shein and Temu are not part of the current action of foreign services to stop delivieries.
All those drop shipping assholes are going to migrate back from SE Asia and take all the Starbucks jobs.
