The U.S. has permanently ended the tariff exemption for package shipments valued under $800, effective Friday. A six-month transition allows shippers to pay a flat duty of $80 to $200 based on the country of origin. This change, announced by Trump officials, aims to enhance revenue and restrict the flow of illegal items, potentially generating up to $10 billion annually in tariff revenues.
