🔥 May 2nd US Tariffs: The Ultimate eCommerce Survival Guide
New import duties on Chinese goods. De minimis rule shut down. Your cross-border strategy needs a serious upgrade — and fast.
What’s Going Down on May 2nd?
The United States is nuking the de minimis exemption. That $800 tax-free threshold? Gone. Now, nearly every shipment from China or routed through Canada will be hit with full inspections, delays, and punishing import duties. And it's not just a trade headline — it's a threat to your bottom line.
If you’re still shipping Chinese goods into the U.S. without a local fulfillment presence... you’re already bleeding money.
Why This Hits Harder Than You Think
- Massive cost per unit increases due to U.S. import tariffs
- Longer customs delays and unpredictable border clearance
- Higher return rates and abandoned carts from U.S. buyers
- Potential suspension from marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart) over compliance failures
This isn’t optional. You either pivot now or start losing customers by the hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
What products are affected by the new U.S. tariffs?
Anything originating from China — electronics, apparel, supplements, home goods, and more. If it’s manufactured in China, it’s getting taxed.
What is the de minimis rule?
Previously, goods under $800 shipped to the U.S. were duty-free. That’s dead now. Everything will be subject to duties and inspection.
Can I just switch my supplier?
Sure — but you’ll still need U.S.-based fulfillment or your goods get stuck at the border. 247 Fulfillment gives you the full backend instantly.
What makes 247 Fulfillment different?
We’re fast, we’re integrated, and we don’t mess around. Real-time visibility. U.S. and Canadian warehousing. Seamless onboarding. We don’t just promise — we deliver.
