Orders of American buyers are canceled while the world stops certain expeditions linked to the United States

American buyers commanding smaller products abroad are encountered by waves of cancellation notice before a change in the key commercial rule ordered by the Trump administration.

On Friday, the United States will end the almost centenary “minimis” exemption, which enabled items worth $ 800 to be sent to the rights to the franchise of rights, or without having to pay prices.

Before the official date of exemption from the exemption, many European nations, alongside Australia, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and New Zealand, delivered deliveries linked to the United States.

Mexico postal service announced on Thursday that it suspended delivery deliveries to the United States due to the pending changes.

The American electronic commerce hubs have published opinions warning customers of the disturbances of the shipment. Last week, Etsy announced that it would no longer deal with purchases for goods sent via Australia Post, Canada Post and the EVRI and Royal Mail services of the United Kingdom in anticipation of the closure of American deliveries of these companies.

“Given complexities, legal requirements and poor experience, many postal suppliers suspend” the delivery options to the United States, “said Etsy.

The Ebay online auction site has also warned that sellers that count on foreign postal services may have to find other shipping processors to bring their products to American customers. Canada Post said on Thursday that he had contracted with a third-party rights processor so that parcels flock to the United States.

Private and third-party carriers who can already have tariff collection systems can cost the cost of sending an article per regular position four times, said Alison Layfield, vice-president of product development at EPOST Global, a logistics company based in California.

“Customers will be very shocked,” she said.

Ben Jay, a New York resident who works in graphics, recently came across an online German music store selling a rare modern recording of traditional Japanese music. Exhaustive research revealed that it did not exist anywhere else, he said.

A few days after purchasing the purchase, he received an email from American Express saying that the order would be reimbursed. An e-mail at the online music store revealed why.

“They just said they were nervous at the idea of ​​following the law,” said Jay about the site, recordsal. “It’s boring but understandable. The way it is done – there is so much uncertainty.”

Although foreign postal systems have no problem making deliveries to the United States, they have no systems to treat prices and pay them in customs and American border protection, Layfield said.

Essentially, the Trump administration now asks foreign messaging operators to act as import tax collectors on behalf of the United States government-something that they are not put in place to refuse or may refuse to do, she said.

“Why would a foreign position recommend itself to a local company for the customs of a foreign country?” Said Layfield. “It’s not something that someone has done before.”

High administration officials said Thursday that countries that suspended parcel expeditions to the United States represent only a small fraction of minimis shipping volumes and that they are making a “commercial decision” which will ultimately harm financially if they choose to close their services to the American market.

Peter Navarro, the main advisor to the Trump administration for trade and manufacturing, told journalists that the end of the exemption from Minmis would cause billions of income, create thousands of jobs, stimulate American companies and save lives by restoring the flow of drugs, smuggling and dangerous products in the United States.

Studies have shown that minimis expeditions to the United States exploded after Trump for the first time imposed prices on China during his first mandate while Chinese suppliers began to use the system as a bypass.

“In warehouses in northern Mexico, goods imported from China are reconditioned in smaller plots, each evaluated at less than $ 800, which allows them to penetrate the American price under the rule of Minmis – a practice known as” Tijuana in two stages “, wrote the commercial economist Anne O. Krueger in a column last year.

The American textile industry praised the decision to end the minimis exemption, saying that foreign competitors used it to undermine its industry.

“For years, companies have used this escape to avoid prices and reporting requirements on customs on shipping worth $ 800 or less, devastating American manufacturers, the undervaluation of American jobs and the opening of valves to products and dangerous goods and counterfeits manufactured with forced work.

China has represented more than half of all packages with minimis exemptions – with more than 30% from low -cost store platforms from China, such as Tamu and Shein. The exemption from Chinese products ended in May, and Temu and Shein both saw the online traffic of American buyers dive – but data on American customs have not yet displayed a significant impact on the volume of drugs entered at the border.

Administration officials said that the exemption from the rest of the world – including countries that may have served as so -called transith centers that China uses to circumvent American trade obstacles – will help increase the impact of the new rule.

The owners of small American businesses who have been purchasing abroad are also affected, said Matthew Hertz, founder of Third Person.co, a logistics group. Such companies that may have counted on the low cost shipping of countries like Mexico, Portugal or Turkey are now faced with a new calculation.

“For small businesses that were counting on cheaper shipments, decisions related to these new changes are really difficult to bring,” he said.
