What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Trump administration is implementing new border rules and regulatory changes concerning prescription drug shipments from Canada. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will indefinitely suspend the de minimis exemption, which previously allowed shipments valued under $800 to pass through customs more easily. This new rule requires additional data and a bond guarantee for medications mailed from outside the United States.
