Ends the small‑value (de minimis) duty‑free exception for imports so low‑value packages no longer skip tariffs or standard customs processing. Sets different start dates for goods from China and for goods from other countries. Requires the Treasury Department to finish rules within 120 days to carry out the change and to tighten data and enforcement for informal entries. Also directs Treasury, working with the Postmaster General, to set postal fees and procedures so international mail is treated the same as other shipments at the border.
Amend section 321(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)) by: (1) in subparagraph (B), replacing ", or" with "; and"; and (2) striking subparagraph (C) and all that follows through (text as provided).
Amendments take effect on the date of enactment of this Act and apply to articles originating in China beginning on the date of enactment, except for articles that were loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading, or in transit on the final mode of transport prior to entry into the United States, during the 3‑day period ending on the date of enactment.
Amendments apply to articles originating in countries other than China that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date that is 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Require the Secretary of the Treasury to carry out a rulemaking, within the 120‑day period beginning on the date of enactment, to implement termination of privileges previously authorized under section 321(a)(2)(C), including changes to entry procedures.
As part of the Treasury rulemaking, ensure data requirements and informal entry procedures support enforcement of U.S. laws and accurate collection of duties, fees, and taxes, including by requiring entities making entry under HTS chapters 50–63 to provide an identification of the HTS heading or subheading number (including 10‑digit level if applicable).
