US court upholds removal of de minimis tariff exemption

Overview

The US Court of International Trade has upheld the executive authority of President Donald Trump to rescind the ‘de minimis’ tariff exemption for low-value imports. The court ruled that under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the president has the power to revoke trade-related ‘privileges,’ such as the exemption for shipments valued at $800 or less.

This decision rejects legal challenges from importers who argued that the authority to set tariffs resides with Congress. The court maintained that the exemption is a ‘privilege’ rather than a right. Under the upheld policy, only private, good-faith gifts valued at less than $100 will continue to qualify for duty-free entry.

President Trump described the ruling as a ‘big win’ against a ‘giant loophole’ that he claims facilitated tariff evasion and the smuggling of fentanyl and counterfeit goods. The administration noted that the previous exemption resulted in an estimated $10.8 billion in lost tariff revenue in 2024. The policy change significantly impacts e-commerce platforms that rely on direct-to-consumer, low-value shipments.
