The US cross -party member proposed a new bill to cancel the tariff exemption widely used in e -commerce sellers to ship from Chinese shoppers from China.
Reuters on Wednesday (June 14) reported that American personal consumers only need to purchase imported goods worth $ 800 (S $ 1074) or below, which can be exempted from tariffs, which is called "the lowest minimum.DE Minimis Rule.
Under the "Minimum Rules", the clothing e -commerce giant Shein and Pinduoduo's cross -border e -commerce platform TEMU is a large beneficiary, but if the bill is passed, the goods from China will not be from China.If you enjoy the tax terminal, the benefits of these Chinese companies may be affected.
A Federal Briefing in April stated that these e -commerce companies used the "minimum rules" to evade tariffs and import illegal items, such as importing items made by Uyghur workers in Xinjiang.Shein spokesman said on Tuesday that the company has no manufacturer in Xinjiang.
Since 2019, the "minimum rules" have attracted attention.At that time, the Consumer Product Safety Commission stated that it was difficult for the committee to grasp the unsafe imports of imported products due to the huge number of low -priced wraps.US customs data show that the shipments of such goods in 2022 increased to 685.5 million, compared to 410.5 million pieces in 2018.
It is unclear how much support the proposal will get.In 2022, Democratic Party representative Earl Blumenauer proposed a similar bill, but failed to pass it in Congress.
