Quick takeaways

  • The De Minimis Rule in the US allows packages valued at less than $800 to enter the country without import fees or screening, which Chinese e-commerce platforms like Tamoo have been accused of exploiting.
  • The actual passage of bills to reform or eliminate the De Minimis Rule remains uncertain due to the busy Congress agenda and differing opinions on how to reform the rule.
