President Donald Trump suspended the prices on small packages from China, after his sudden order puts an end to the duties franchise treatment for expeditions of less than $ 800 left the American postal service and other agencies that have compared.
The postal service temporarily ceased to accept the packages of China following the order, to reverse the course one day later.
Chaos has left many United States to wonder about the fate of packages ordered to companies such as Shein and Temu, which had used the exemption from low value packages to develop rapidly in the United States.
Trump made the change last weekend as part of a wider decision increasing border taxes on Chinese goods by 10% on February 4.
Friday, its revision of the order declared that the treatment without prices for parcels from China worth less than $ 800 would remain in place until “adequate systems are in place to treat fully and quickly pricing income “.
This decision comes as some of the other rapid shooting changes that Trump has announced since last month, has also met roadblocks, including legal challenges.
Last weekend, he said that he put 25% of prices on the goods of Mexico and Canada, before quickly suspending these tasks for a month to allow talks to continue.
Friday, Trump said that he expected to announce “reciprocal prices” in many countries next week, a plan he had described on the campaign track by which the United States would take prices from the same Prices that other counties apply to equivalent products made in the us.
The United States had started to re-examine the exemption from low-value packages, known as Minmis, before Trump came into office.
The Biden Administration in September proposed to strengthen the rules on these packages from China, saying that this decision would help American companies to compete and meet the challenges blocking illegal drug shipments.
In 2016, the United States had noted the exemption threshold for prices and other costs from $ 200 to $ 800 to facilitate trade and allow managers to focus on higher priority shipments.
But this decision was faced with criticisms while electronic commerce quickly widened and the number of packages entering the United States under the sculpture increased from 140 million to more than a billion in 2023.
