ChinA Tariff
Update
President Trump delayed cancellation of De Minimis until U.S. Department of Commerce is fully prepared to collect tariffs.
The 10% tariff on Chinese Goods still stands for any items over the $800 limit.
With the new China tariffs, shipments incur an additional 10% tariff on top of the duties and tax charges if the items are over $800 and are required to pass through a full customs clearance.
This means any item made in China that is sold into the U.S., no matter where your business is located or where you are fulfilling from will face duties and taxes.

What is De Minimis?
The De Minimis Tax Exemption is a law that Congress passed on a bipartisan basis that allows shipments bound for American businesses and consumers valued under $800 (per person, per day) to enter the U.S. free of duty and taxes. (Source: National Foreign Trade Council)
