Dear Customers,

Greetings!

On February 3, 2025, Eastern Standard Time, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the imposition of additional duties on imports originating from China, including Hong Kong. Below are the details of the policy adjustments and their impact on your shipments:

1. Effective Date

Effective Time: February 4, 2025, at 00:01 Eastern Standard Time

1. Core Content of the Policy

1.Cancellation of De Minimis Duty-Free Policy:

The duty-free clearance mode applicable to goods valued under $800 (such as T86) will no longer be available.

2.Additional Tariffs:

In addition to the base tariff rates of the goods, the following additional tariffs will be applied:

• Section 301 tariffs (for specific Chinese goods)
• Section 201 and 232 tariffs (for products like steel and aluminum)
• The newly added 10% tariff (for all goods originating from China, including Hong Kong)

III. Impact on Your Shipments and Recommendations

1.Freight Fluctuations:

• Due to the CBP's latest policy, customs and tax costs have significantly increased, leading to adjustments in logistics fees across various routes. Please keep an eye on our route and freight updates.

2.Transportation Timeliness:

• Given the uncertainties in the implementation details of the U.S. customs policy, there is a risk of delays for all shipments. If you need to receive your package by a certain date, please allow ample time for procurement and shipping.

3.Logistics Route Changes:

• Affected by the tariff policy, certain special goods such as batteries and perfumes are temporarily undeliverable. Therefore, the American line packet (Batteries) and American line (Special) services are temporarily suspended.
• All packages shipped from Mainland China (including Hong Kong) are highly likely to face customs inspections and tariff assessments. To reduce the probability of instability, the following routes are temporarily suspended until they stabilize: EUB, EMS, E-EMS, UPS-F, UPS-F6000, UPS-SH, HK UPS-F6000, US Air Special Line, American line packet -XS.
• We currently recommend using SG-FedEx, which transits through Singapore and can still utilize the duty-free clearance mode for goods valued under $800.
