US cross‑border: the $800 de minimis exemption is still suspended — cheap imports still get tariffs Even after the US Supreme Court struck down many tariffs last month, the “de minimis” rule hasn’t come back: packages under $800 are still facing tariffs. That matters for platforms like Shein/Temu and for sellers relying on low-value direct-to-consumer cross-border shipping. Why it matters: landed cost volatility turns into pricing volatility. The practical hedge is local inventory (bulk import + domestic fulfillment) and faster repricing rules.
