  1. Abusing the de minimus system is how they were avoiding tariffs. All that is going on here is CBP enforcing existing law to shut down the abuse. Chinese companies have been free riding the de minimus system aka cheating. Price increases would reflect a return to “correct pricing” based on non-cheating, benefiting us in the long run.

  4. You do not understand how the cross-border automotive industry works. Everything that can be shifted to Mexico already has been shifted to Mexico. Suppliers are on both sides of the border, and they manufacture subcomponents and components on both sides of the border that each get assembled in their respective countries (mostly high end vehicles in the U.S., mostly economy vehicles in Mexico). There is still an import tax to bring a Mexican assembled car into the U.S. and a U.S. assembled car into Mexico. If you’re a UAW member, you ought to educate yourself further on how NAFTA 2.0 works. NAFTA 3.0 negotiations begin in 2026 (with NAFTA 2.0 being in force until 2030 iirc).

  5. TEMU is an anagram for MUTE. If that’s not weird enough for you, it’s also M TEU.

  6. If it’s taking 2-3 weeks, it’s going by ship anyway. This action announced by the CBP doesn’t affect you. EU law does. The CBP is shutting down on tariff cheating by Chinese companies that took advantage of de minimus enforcement: air freight is cheaper than ship freight + tariffs. If companies are paying full tariff for air freight, air freight is no longer the cheaper option.

  9.  @Heterogeneity  well to be fair, passing the funding requires making deals with the Satan worshiping pedophillic antifa party trying to destroy America. /s
