The de minimis exemption is a reasonable trade policy that benefits American consumers by allowing low-cost imports without excessive tariffs or delays. Reversing this decades-old exemption will inevitably lead to higher prices for consumers on many everyday goods and packages. This blanket policy change imposes costs on legitimate businesses and families with no clear offsetting benefits for public safety or American manufacturing competitiveness. I urge you to reconsider reinstating the de minimis exemption to avoid burdening consumers and businesses unnecessarily.
