End of De Minimis—Big Trouble for Ecommerce from China | Decoding Cross-Border Ecommerce | Ep #61

Decoding Cross-Border Ecommerce

In this episode of the Decoding Cross-Border Ecommerce podcast, Clint Reid, Founder and CEO of Zonos, and Aaron Bezzant, Zonos’ Head of Global Trade Strategy, are joined by Ryan Swapp, tackle what might be the most disruptive change in cross-border trade in years: the end of $800 de minimis for Chinese goods.
The U.S. is rolling out a sweeping policy shift that will remove the duty-free threshold for low-value shipments from China—and the implications for ecommerce sellers are massive. Learn what the new rules are, what’s changing on May 2, how carriers like DHL and USPS are involved, and what sellers should be doing right now.
