WASHINGTON DC – New proposals have been announced in the US to crack down on the 'de minimis' loophole which can allow the parcels of Chinese-owned online retailers, like Shein and Temu, to evade import tariffs and customs checks.
De minimis allows packages under $800 to enter the country tariff-free and with minimal inspection – meaning that Shein and Temu's parcels could also evade the Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act (UFLPA).
