“On September 13, the Biden administration announced a ‘Notice of Proposed Rulemaking’ to ‘protect American consumers, workers, and businesses by addressing the significant increased abuse of the de minimis exemption.’ That’s a pretty bland way of saying that Biden and Friends are opening up a new front in the US government’s war on your ability to find and purchase the things you want at a price you find attractive. The current targets of opportunity in that war: Chinese e-commerce outfits like Temu and Shein, which use the ‘de minimis exemption’ to ship goods directly to American consumers at low prices.” (09/21/24)
