US President Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China aim to close a loophole that allowed duty-free imports of small packages under $800, targeting especially Chinese e-commerce retailers. This move will impact companies like Alibaba and Shein, which heavily relied on the de minimis exemption to ship goods directly to US consumers.
