Ending of Tariff Exemption for Imports from China
May 2, 2025
Starting today, the tariff exemption for cheap products shipped from China to the U.S. is coming to an end, which is expected to significantly affect American consumers. This rule had allowed Chinese websites, like Shein and Temu, to offer very low-priced goods in the U.S. market. The Trump administration is making this change due to concerns about misuse of the rule and potential illegal shipments. The new policy may raise the cost of products for American buyers.
