Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries
Executive Order 14388 continues the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment for imports from all countries, maintaining tariffs on small-value shipments that were previously exempt. This policy increases costs on imported goods for American consumers and businesses by eliminating the threshold below which duties were not collected. The action directly impacts e-commerce purchases, small business imports, and everyday consumer prices for foreign-sourced items.
