Welcome Back Trade Professionals, to another Simply Trade News Round Up! Today's hot topic: De Minimis. On May 2nd, De Minimis will no longer apply to goods imported from china and hong kong. We've invited E-commerce Expert, Marianne Rowden to break down the complexities of what it means for customs, international trade, and YOU -- the consumer. Main Points/Takeaways: E-commerce and De Minimis Overview: - E-commerce represents the "democratization of global trade" - De minimis allows low-value shipments to enter countries with reduced customs processing - Historical threshold progression: $1 (1930s) → $5 → $200 → $800 (2016) Key Changes and Implications: - As of May 2, significant changes to de minimis rules are happening - China's low-cost shipments through de minimis will be significantly impacted - CBP currently processes 4 million de minimis shipments daily (up from 1 million in 2018) Standout Insights: - E-commerce flipped traditional trade model by allowing buyers to find sellers easily - Trade's biggest barrier is complexity of importing/exporting - COVID-19 dramatically accelerated e-commerce adoption Notable Quote: "E-commerce represented the democratization of global trade. It allowed small and medium sized companies to sell their products around the world." - Marianne Rowden Strategic Considerations: - Businesses need to understand evolving cross-border shipping regulations - Cost-benefit analysis of customs processing is needed - Postal and direct-to-consumer shipping channels are changing Potential Future Actions: - CBP likely to issue interim final rule in June/July - More scrutiny on international low-value shipments expected #Ecommerce #GlobalTrade #DeMinimis #TradePolicy #InternationalBusiness #CBP #OnlineShopping Connect with our Expert: Marianne Rowden LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-rowden-43456110/ Website: https://www.emtc.org/ Other Articles/Sources Mentioned: Join EMTC's Open Forum on Tariffs In the midst of all this chaos, education is your best ally.
