What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The US government delayed the implementation of new customs requirements for small international mail shipments by 90 days. This rule, which targets the *de minimis* tariffs exemption, was intended to implement changes authorized by President Donald Trump’s spending and tax-cut bill. The mandatory compliance date for the new mail entry process was pushed from October 22 to January 20, 2027.
