- American shoppers said they had received higher charges related to shipping after Trump’s new definitions had entered the Chinese goods.
- Trump has commanded the end of the minimum exemption, which Shin and Timo have long used to avoid import fees.
- However, the executive order signed by Trump on Friday stopped the end of the minimum exemption.
President Donald Trump pressed a previous executive order to end an exemption used by Chinese e -commerce giants Shin and Timo to avoid import fees.
Meanwhile, some Americans have received messages from companies and shipping companies this week asking them to pay additional fees to receive the packages they previously requested. Some shoppers shared the screenshots of their messages and their purchase receipts with Business Insider.
Melissa Kovarubias, an influential San Diego headquarters, paid additional fees for more than $ 100 on a request to be shipped via DHL. Covarrubias bi told the additional costs felt as if “another way to click on more money from daily consumers.”
President Trump initially signed an executive on Saturday to implement a new tariff on goods imported from China, Canada and Mexico and end the exemis exemption. However, it was later announced that the customs tariff for Canada and Mexico will be stopped for a month, and on Friday issued a temporary pause to remove the minimum exemption through Another executive order.
Section 321, also known as De Mimineris, let the importers avoid paying fees and taxes on charges valued at less than $ 800, which was heading directly to US agents.
Some American consumers contacted social media last week to exchange examples of distinguished fees for applications from China.
Covarrubias said it had submitted a request with the Australian Australian -based store through the DHL delivery service, which initially cost $ 305. She paid the original price for her and later asked her to pay a “payment” of $ 115.91.
She said: “CSB assured customers that they are either covering 50 % of the definitions or offering a gift card for the same amount.” “Since my package has already reached San Diego, I paid the full tariff fees amounting to $ 115.91, CSB has later received half of me. While I appreciate partial payment, high service fees make me hesitant to shop with them again.”
CSB says on its website that its suppliers and manufacturers are in China and TurkeyAnd that its shipments come from A warehouse in Queensland, Australia. A CSB spokesman did not immediately respond to the comment.
A DHL spokesman said: “DHL Express has a unified set of drawings and dealings that apply to the customs clearance process,” said DHL spokesman. “These fees, in addition to government taxes and duties. The fees differ according to shipping and are listed on our site. The shipments below the minimum threshold are exempt.”
Christina Adams, a beauty and lifestyle, said she had a similar experience, waiting for a pair of tires from a lens from China.
Adams said that after she paid for her request – $ 14.95 for tires and an additional $ 21.95 for expedited shipping – I received an email from DHL requesting a $ 18.82 fee.
“I have ended up paying the drawings to receive my package, because it was a very necessary thing,” Adams said. “But I feel that this is unfair, as I already paid additional fees to receive the package already.”
Adams said that the “inconvenience” will make it more aware of the place you buy, and move forward. Covarrubias said it also plans to make changes to its shopping habits.
“Go ahead, I will be more aware of the place where I shop,” said Kofarubias. “Local shopping centers and shops hold the same elements at higher prices, and I prefer not to pay in addition to something I can get elsewhere for less.”
Covarrubias said, trying to reduce spending, canceled Amazon account.
She said: “At the end of the day, we never know what is waiting for us – whether it is more than economic changes, inflation or new policies that make it difficult for the average person to carry high -quality products.”
