Trump delayed tariffs on low-cost packages from China

President Donald Trump has paused tariffs on small-value packages from China to allow federal agencies time to process shipments without taxes.
The pause on tariffs will last until the Department of Commerce can set up systems to process and collect tariff revenue.
Critics argue that ending the de minimis exception could lead to higher prices and delivery delays for U.S. Consumers.
The U.S. Postal Service reversed its decision to stop accepting packages from China after Trump amended the tariff order for packages worth $800 or less.
