Im not trying to be contrary but there's some additional information I saw today that's less good news for small packages.

Small packages from China are still subject to tariffs of 120% , a White House official confirmed Monday — a major blow for U.S. consumers seeking cheap goods from e-commerce retailers like Shein and Temu.

Yikes, that was under-reported.

The New Tariff Structure​[archived internal link]
Basically, under the executive order issued on Monday, May 12, 2025:

- The tariff rate on small packages from China will be reduced from 120% to 54%

- The flat fee option will remain at $100 per package

- The previously planned increase to $200 in June has been canceled

- These changes will take effect on May 14, 2025 (tomorrow)

This adjustment is part of a broader trade agreement where the U.S. will reduce its overall tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30% for 90 days, while China will lower its tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%

"The order signed by President Donald Trump said levies for those direct-to-consumer postal shipments will be reduced to 54% from 120% for items valued at up to $800, starting on Wednesday . An alternative flat fee of $100 per postal package remains in effect, but a planned June 1 increase to $200 was cancelled."

The de minimis tariff is currently 54% according to a CBS news report a few hours ago. This situation is highly volatile and likely to change several more times.

The "de-minimis" tariff rate is now 54%. Here's what that means for e-commerce.

Low-value parcels shipped from China to the U.S. are now subject to a 54% tariff after a trade agreement was reached.

54% is still kinda apocalyptic. Even if one doesn't care about the fees, increased scrutiny is no good for us.

Well, I support the new wave of USA peptide purveyors that this shall bring forth. I'm about to order from a new guy.

I am so relieved. One less thing to worry about when I place my first order! Now if I could only see the spreadsheet :+p

Wrong forum?

It appears we'll continue to have changing tariff policies. However, it does seem the Trump administration will remain too unfocused to be able to clamp down on GLP-1 drugs.

I bet those of us who have bought freezers, plus a few years worth of Tirz and Reta don’t look so crazy now!

We might not look so stupid when the TikTok soccer moms make their charge into grey!

We could make a killing in the resell game! Just like all the stock I’ve bought in the past few months at healthy discounts.

With my luck, I would end up on On Patrol Live somehow, after my first resale

I'm good for a few years and yet I'm about to purchase a bit more.
