I think income tax was supposed to be temporary when it first was introduced.

Trump removed the “de minimus” clause in US Customs Regs

parcels sent to individuals were considered “for personal use” and not “for commerce” so a$800 limit was set. It was designed so your Auntie in the UK or Singapore could send you a box of tea for Christmas, and not have the package need to go through the Customs-clearing bureaucracy.

OF COURSE, Chinese figured out how to game this system, and built absolutely massive “Amazon-like” Chinese shopping websites used this to send purchases to American citizens, with no duties whatsoever under the “de minimus” rule.

That is now GONE.

The President will be play hardball if that is what it takes. I’ll give you odds he’ll negotiate a real deal deal with the Chicoms before this is over.

China is already teetering on the brink of economic collapse.
This will bring the CCP to its knees.

Everything I order from Amazon even if it is a Chinese made product comes directly from Amazon so yours should come on time as long as Amazon is shipping it
