"LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - As the United States ends a tariff exemption for small parcels on Friday, some retailers have stopped selling to U.S. customers while others are seeking temporary workarounds in the hope the tariff rate may be reduced.

The removal of "de minimis" - duty-free treatment of e-commerce packages worth less than $800 - for products originating from China and Hong Kong exposes those goods to tariffs of 145% on most Chinese goods following U.S. President Donald Trump's decision last month. The move upended global trade and triggered retaliation from Beijing."


Hong Kong & China today, probably Canada soon and who knows after that.

de minimus is latin and means too small, insignificant or ubiquitous to really matter, or make any difference
