Oh darn.No, Trump has put a 90-day hold on his 145% tax on goods imported from China, leaving a new tax of 30%. He has not reinstated the de minimus exception. Expect to spend about $10 more on a sheet of H3.
Oh darn.
I have a dream where I can buy freely from Aliexpress without tariffs.
I have a dream where I can buy BYD cars.
The issue was that China Post and HK Post stopped shipping small packages to the US. With or without the $800 exception nobody's really paying any tariffs anyway since they usually just declare the packages as gifts or a $500 value package for $3. As long as China/HK Post resume shipping packages then it doesn't really matter what the de minimis rule says.I keep looking and I don't see anything about the $800 exception being lifted. Personally, I hope they don't. It wouldn't be fair for me to pay a tariff but customers can go directly to China and pay none.
I'm also curious. How would tariffs work through a site like Prott?Does anyone have experience buying from prott.vip? Want to get a few things and not sure what the tariff situation is currently?
I remember in another thread that someone reminded me that Prott, which is located in Hong Kong, is pretty much the same as shipping from China. Just treat any shipment coming from Hong Kong the same as any shipment coming from China.I'm also curious. How would tariffs work through a site like Prott?
This is correct. All of the tariffs imposed on China also applied to Hong Kong as well.I remember in another thread that someone reminded me that Prott, which is located in Hong Kong, is pretty much the same as shipping from China. Just treat any shipment coming from Hong Kong the same as any shipment coming from China.
I am also waiting to buy a couple player's editions H3 blue sponge from Prott but if there is a tariff, I am happy with my provincial version that I already have.
The de minimis exemption will be eliminated in two years after President Donald Trump signed a sweeping policy bill into law on Friday.
As part of the package introduced as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” the U.S. will repeal the exemption allowing imports under $800 to enter the country duty and tax free, effective July 1, 2027. Exemptions will remain in place for eligible items bought during travel and bona fide gifts from foreign citizens to U.S. residents.
The bill also establishes a civil penalty, starting 30 days after its enactment, for any person attempting to use de minimis entry in a way that “violates any other provision of” U.S. customs law. The amount is $5,000 for the first violation and up to $10,000 for subsequent violations.
