Posts - Bill - HR 1840 Closing the De Minimis Loophole Act
house 03/04/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to close a loophole in U.S. trade laws by phasing out de minimis treatment, which currently allows certain low-value imports to enter the country with minimal duties and oversight. This proposed legislation aims to enhance customs enforcement, ensure fair trade practices, and collect necessary duties on imports, while fostering a level playing field for all businesses.
