Shoppers who love a good overseas find may feel a little sting from the latest tariff news. On Friday, the long-standing “de minimis” rule, which was once a golden ticket for duty-free imports under $800, officially came to an end.
From now on, packages below the threshold will no longer slip through untaxed, and customs checks will tighten. For frequent online shoppers, it means those international bargains may come with a few extra strings (and fees) attached.
This shift is a good reminder that rules change, and when they do, being aware makes all the difference. The same is true in investing: whether it’s filling a portfolio with quality stocks or filling a shopping cart with deals, the best outcomes come from more informed decisions.
