I was planning on getting an order to France in the next few days. Am I misunderstanding the implementation plan for this (evil) order? Previous Message
A new executive order eliminates the de minimus exception on small purchases. It was perviously eliminated on HongKong & Chinese items, it now applies across the board

It used to be shipments valued as $800 USD or less woulf have no tarrifs collected. It now looks like ordering garage kits and parts from non-US suppliers will now become more expensive.
Paragraph 3.(c) and following lays out the rates for each tarrif bracket:
25% $200 per shipment
So, a purchase from an EU country with a 16% tarrif would have an additional $80 slapped on it, collected by the post office at delivery.
All this might change as TACO has slipped the 8/1 effective date back to 8/7, but be prepared.
