與此同時，美國海關與邊境保護局（CBP）於上週六公佈指導文件，正式取消長期適用於低於800美元商品的「最低申報」（de minimis）政策。該政策過去允許小額進口貨品免徵關稅與稅款，如今此規定取消，意味著來自中國的電商貨品將面臨額外的關稅與監管壓力。川普政府此舉意在進一步遏制中國電商企業藉由此機制規避關稅的做法，對於高度依賴郵務的Temu與Shein來說，無疑是沉重打擊。
電子商務市場研究機構Marketplace Pulse的執行長Juozas Kaziukenas指出，Temu與Shein能夠提供低價且快速配送的關鍵，在於「最低申報」機制的運作。該政策取消後，這些電商的競爭優勢將大幅削弱，甚至可能影響它們在美國市場的生存能力。
