Washington/London/Los Angeles (Reuters)-American President Donald Trump stopped abolishing his administration for flawless treatment of cheap packets from China on Friday, giving a trade department to make the order feasible, after fast changes have created disorders for customs inspectors, services postal and delivery and internet traders.
Eventually cancellation De Minis means that more than a billion of a small value package that arrives in the United States annually with goods that come directly from China must switch to an entry procedure that requires additional information and duties, adding time and costs.
Stopping and restarting the acceptance of these packages in the United States this week launched a crowd of disorders that supported the customs authorization for packages – even those who paid duties – at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
“Well, that was fun on Tuesday to Friday, if you work in a global e-commerce,” said Derek Lossing, the CEO of E-Transport and the Global Cirrus Global Advisors supply company.
The initial change, implemented with just over 48 hours, caused the USPS to temporarily stop accepting packages from China and Hong Kong earlier this week.
Popular Internet traders, including Shein, theme and Amazon.com, send a new Haul service directly from Chinese factories to US customers and use de minimis to make prices low. These merchants did not immediately respond to the comment demands.
The revision of Trump’s administration in the command was signed on Wednesday and announced on Friday, a white house spokesman said.
De Minimis, a legal term related to issues of small importance, refers to the abandonment of standard customs procedures and tariffs on items less than $ 800, which are delivered to individuals from foreign countries.
The topic and Shein combined about 9,000 metric tons of burden in the world each day, or about 88 full trucks of the Boeing 777, said Niall van de Wouw, a main air burden officer on the Xenet truck.
“You can’t put your eyelids at this volume of air cargo at once, so it’s no surprise that there was a delay in the executive order at the de minimis.”
The packages are piling up
The US Customs and Border Protection, which has a job of breaking the e-train package and collection of duties on them, held a meeting on Thursday with logistics professionals to discuss the status of more than one million packages gathering at the JFK airport, according to the source familiar with the source. by meeting.
