Watch: The End of De Minimis — How It Impacts Retailers
Maria Pechurina, Director of International Trade at Peacock Tariff Consulting, discusses the elimination of the U.S. de minimis duty exemption and what it means for retailers. With 5.5 million packages entering the U.S. daily now subject to customs processing, small businesses and importers face significantly higher costs and delays. Pechurina explains how fast-fashion giants like Shein and Temu anticipated the change and stockpiled inventory in U.S. distribution centres, while smaller retailers are far more exposed. Consumers should expect fewer product options and higher prices by peak shopping season.
