Under a new White House rule proposal, Chinese exports subject to U.S. tariffs would no longer be eligible for the de minimis shipping loophole.

  • A new rule proposal from the Biden administration would prohibit products that are subject to U.S.-China tariffs from being eligible for a special customs exemption.

  • The de minimis loophole allows packages with a value of less than $800 to enter the United States with relatively little scrutiny.

  • Officials say a recent explosion in the number of de minimis shipments is due largely to Chinese-linked online retail giants like Shein and Temu.
