The Biden-Harris Administration has announced new regulations aimed at curbing the “significant increased abuse” of the de minimis exemption by Chinese e-commerce giants.

The exemption allows shipments valued at $ 800 or less to enter the U.S. duty free.

Rising use of the exemption has raised concerns over potential consumer safety risks and fair trade violations.

The volume of these types of shipments has skyrocketed from about 140 million annually a decade ago to over one billion today .
