(Reuters in New York) The US cross -party member plan plans to propose a new bill to cancel the exemption of tariff exemptions widely used by e -commerce sellers when shipping from China.
According to Reuters on Wednesday (June 14), American personal consumers only need to purchase imported products worth $ 800 (S $ 1074) or below, which can be exempted from tariffs.Minimis Rule).
Under this rule, the clothing e -commerce platform, which is established in China and headquarters in Singapore, is the biggest beneficiary of Temu, a cross -border e -commerce platform under Pinduoduo.Once the above bills are passed, goods from China will no longer enjoy taxation.
According to Reuters, a federal briefing in April this year said that some companies would use the "minimum rules" to avoid taxes and import illegal items, such as items made by forced Uyghur workers in Xinjiang, China.
Higong spokesman responded on Tuesday that the company was not produced in Xinjiang; TEMU did not comment.
Since 2019, the "minimum rules" have attracted attention in the United States.The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said at the time that due to the huge number of such low -priced wraps, it was difficult for the committee to discover those unsafe imports.
U.S. customs data shows that the shipments of such goods have risen from 410.5 billion in 2018 to 685.5 million pieces in 2022.
