  • A ban on de minimis exemptions will go into effect Friday and allows imports under $800 to be duty-free.

The article from Fortune discusses the impact of proposed changes to the U.S. de minimis threshold on companies like Snap, which owns Snapchat. The de minimis threshold currently allows goods valued under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free, benefiting companies like Shein and Temu that heavily rely on this rule for their business models. However, a potential change to this threshold has caused concern, as it could increase costs and affect profitability. Snap's stock sold off after the company highlighted these risks during its earnings call, reflecting broader market anxieties about the potential economic implications of altering trade policies with China. The article also touches on the political debate surrounding the de minimis rule, with some lawmakers advocating for its reduction to protect domestic industries and address security concerns related to imports from China.
