Ahead of next week’s inauguration of President Trump, and in line with promises to implement tougher trade measures on Chinese goods, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is proposing changes to the de minimis rules to help ease the burden of dealing with rapidly growing e-commerce volumes.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is to make changes to the de minimis rules, which can allow the parcels of Chinese-owned online retailers such as Shein and Temu to evade import tariffs and customs checks.

Termed the ‘Enhanced entry process’, the new rules are designed to help ease the burden of dealing with rapidly growing e-commerce volumes and to clamp down on shipments that contain illegal goods.
