Shippers worldwide are suspending some deliveries to the U.S. due to the end of a popular customs tax exemption for low-value goods. President Trump’s July executive order abolished the de minimis exemption, effective August 29, impacting millions of inexpensive shipments entering the country daily. This change aims to protect domestic industries but has led to shipping delays and cancellations globally. The move reflects broader protectionist trade policies and has significant implications for international commerce and consumers.
