The United States is expanding the revocation of a tariff exemption that facilitated the flow of cheap goods into the country.

President Donald Trump on July 30 signed an executive order ending the de minimis treatment of imports worth less than $800 for all goods entering the country. Accordingly, by Aug. 29, the United States will begin to collect duties on packages that were previously exempt from the payments.
