Closing the Diminimus loophole for package shipments
Many unsafe items, knockoffs, products from forced labor, and chemicals like fentanyl are slipping into the country through the Diminimus loophole, particularly from China. A proposed bill aims to address this by requiring sellers to declare package contents and pay tariffs, reducing the influx of packages and aiding customs monitoring. While there may still be ways to cheat, the bill is expected to make it significantly more challenging and have a positive impact on controlling the flow of such items.
