The latest news on the United States and China. The United States has recently announced a significant reduction in its "de minimis" tariff on low-value Chinese shipments, lowering it to 30% for direct-to-consumer postal packages.

While the new tariff offers relief to Chinese e-commerce giants, the reduction still represents a steep charge compared to previous exemptions. Despite the changes, experts suggest that these tariffs may continue to impact the speed and cost of shipments to the US.
