- A new executive order eliminates the $ 800 duty free range for all commercial imports starting August 29.
- The move stops various shipping flaws used to prevent specific China’s specific revenue.
- Budget gaming handhelds and other equipment prices sent after the deadline may face duties.
Remember when we said that cheap gaming handhelds were going to be more expensive in the United States? Well, it’s worse than we think, and it’s happening soon. A new executive order by President Trump will eliminate 800 DED Munimis waivers for all commercial imports starting August 29, which some companies were using to keep prices low.
As a new White House fact sheet is detailed in detail, a widespread order suspends duty -free treatment for low -cost delivery, regardless of their original country. It follows the previous move that applies only to China and Hong Kong equipment. In response, some electronics makers began to root the packages through Macau to avoid prices, but this strategy will not work after the new rules begin.
Under the latest system, all trade delivery sent by private couriers will face full duties. Even the packages sent by the international postal system will be taxed on the basis of their original country. It will be charged either by a percentage of the AD Valvarium or a flat rate, from $ 80 to 200 per item. This may significantly increase the cost of devices like Retrode Pocket Classic or Newly Declared Iano Kunker Pocket Fit, assuming that they are sending directly to the United States.
The move could eliminate the budget gaming handheld market in the United States, which has flourished on small batch, low margin devices that are sold directly to consumers. The original China -related tariffs at China’s original China are at risk of pushing 30 or more prices on May. This new global suspension ensures that there are no more work.
This order does not just target gaming hardware – this is part of a wider crackdown on abuse with de minimase, which US officials say has allowed it to enter the country with unsafe goods, counterfeiting and even drugs. However, with the implementation of the new rules on August 29, there is no cheap handheld transit even after this date.
