de minimis shipping to US from China is ending

 

President Trump has signed an Executive Order that ends the tariff/duty exemption on small value shipments (i.e. < 800 USD) sent from China to the US. ?It is not made clear if this change will apply to shipments from other countries as well. ?This will certainly impact those of us who purchase PC boards, electronic components and modules, and equipment in pursuit of our hobby.

¡°Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order eliminating duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value imports from China¡­¡±
¡±
  • Following the Secretary of Commerce¡¯s notification that adequate systems are in place to collect tariff revenue, President Trump is ending duty-free de minimis treatment for covered goods from the People¡¯s Republic of China (PRC) and Hong Kong starting May 2, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. EDT.
    • Imported goods sent through means other than the international postal network that are valued at or under $800 and that would otherwise qualify for the de minimisexemption will be subject to all applicable duties, which shall be paid in accordance with applicable entry and payment procedures.
    • All relevant postal items containing goods that are sent through the international postal network that are valued at or under $800 and that would otherwise qualify for the de minimis exemption are subject to a duty rate of either 30% of their value or $25 per item (increasing to $50 per item after June 1, 2025). This is in lieu of any other duties, including those imposed by prior Orders.
  • Carriers transporting these postal items must report shipment details to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), maintain an international carrier bond to ensure duty payment, and remit duties to CBP on a set schedule.
  • CBP may require formal entry for any postal package instead of the specified duties.
  • The Secretary of Commerce will submit a report within 90 days assessing the Order¡¯s impact and considering whether to extend these rules to packages from Macau.¡±

It seems to say that IF it¡¯s under $800 AND not shipped via International Post THEN it will be subject to a tariff¡­¡­ maybe I read it wrong?

It clearly states China.

This is essentially an embargo, because it will slow down a package
for months. It is a part of the trade war which is wreaking havoc.?
 

Yes it is only from China and Hong Kong that there is no exceptions for under $800 dollars.?? Any other place stays the same until it might be changed.

There are two sections, one for items sent other than through the International post and the second for items sent through the post.? That seems to cover everything from China.

This might not apply to Hans' shipments from Turkey, even though much of a QMX kit is imported by him from China. Turkey is not China.
?
What will hit all of us is that AIUI some components are imported into China from the USA and they will attract tariffs which we will all pay.? I'm sure Hans and his suppliers will be looking for non USA suppliers where possible.
?
And for people expecting to buy kits from Hans at Dayton won't Hans' import of a number of kits attract tariffs? It's value is likely to be above de minimus rules. and tariffs have been applied to just about all imports into the USA.
