About this episode

A little-known trade provision is ending, and it will likely upend business for e-commerce companies and raise prices for consumers. De minimis has allowed companies to avoid duties on shipments to the U.S. that are worth $800 or less. It’s a program that many companies, especially e-commerce giants, Shein and Temu, have taken advantage of to keep prices low. WSJ’s Shen Lu explains how President Donald Trump has now ended that program for products from China and Hong Kong. We also speak with the CFO of shoe company Kuru about how the new rules could change their business. Jessica Mendoza hosts.    Further Listening: -Shein: Fast Fashion, Slow IPO  -The Billionaire Caught Between Trump and China  -China Unleashes a Trade War Arsenal  Sign up for WSJ’s free What’s News newsletter.  Learn more about your ad choices.
