Don’t worry, the Tariff Times will not be a “daily.” Far from it. Expect these round ups only if/when there’s more than enough “somethings” relevant to affordable men’s style. Maybe once a month if that.
- China: The duty free de minimis exemption for China on packages valued under $800 will expire at 12:01am ET Friday May 2nd.
- Canada (Spier): The duty free de minimis exemption for Canada on packages valued under $800 has been
extended(?), until “adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect tariff revenue”- ?? UPDATE ??: Spier is now saying “the $800 De Minimis exemption will be eliminated, and tariffs of up to 170% will apply to goods of Chinese origin.” So even if the package is shipping from Canada, if, say, a suit is made in China, it could be subject to tariffs? That’s confusing as all hell.
