Hi guys,

So I've just read about the news, tbh it's all still very confusing, Trump suspends tax exemption for cheap shipments . So this is what I have been reading:

What’s changing?

Until now, the de minimis rule allowed goods valued under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free. That rule is now gone. This move is meant to target mass low-cost imports (Temu, Aliexpress,etc), but it hits all international businesses /small business included...like myself, sadly

They’re suspending de minimus exemptions so all commercial parcels sent to USA now subject to tariffs/flat rate regardless of value...

August 29, 2025: De minimis will end for all countries

If I'm not wrong, so it meas the customer will have to pay a tariff when receiving the parcel,

We still have to wait to see if there are any changes...we have time until the end of August

Let's hope there will be changes...most of my clients/audience is from USA. This will affect my physical mail...it's so sad.

I want to believe there will be any other options to keep shipping to the US.

But I wanted to let you know (to my US patrons -for physical mail goodies)

Let's see what happens...
