U.S. Trade Court Upholds Trump's Authority to End Tariff Exemption for Low-Value Goods

A U.S. trade court has sided with President Donald Trump, ruling that he had the authority to end a tariff exemption for imported goods valued under $800, known as the 'de minimis' exemption. The decision rejects a challenge from an auto parts retailer and marks a win for the administration's tariff policies, which cited the exemption's use for smuggling illegal drugs and avoiding tariffs.
