The idea back then was, say you went on a vacation to Paris, you shouldn\u2019t have to file customs paperwork or pay taxes if you decided to ship some little Eiffel Tower statues to your friends back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congress in 2015 then raised the de minimis threshold from $200 to $800.&nbsp; However, the e-commerce world exploded, and Chinese companies began using the de minimis loophole to ship cheap goods (ex. Temu and Shein) into the USA direct to consumers without paying any customs duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was reported last year that the U.S. was on track to receive a billion packages through the de minimis loophole that aren\u2019t taxed and don\u2019t have customs slips&nbsp;<strong>saying what they are<\/strong>.&nbsp; Making matters worse, illegal items are slipping through the cracks, including, knockoffs, unsafe items and even&nbsp;<strong>chemicals used to make fentanyl<\/strong>.&nbsp; The worst abuser that exploits this de minimis loophole is, by far, China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump&nbsp;<strong>can require a customs and duty declaration<\/strong>&nbsp;stating what is in every package and subsequently collect tariffs and duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put it all together and President Trump is executing an Emergency Act executive order, plus the imposition of a tariff review, and simultaneous interception of de minimis packages previously unchecked as the enforcement mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All executed by the External Revenue Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>President Trump has got them surrounded, and the scope of it has the media so overwhelmed they cannot quite put it together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost too much winning\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Captain Convey Comment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The point is companies maximize profit under the rules set by government.
