Court Affirms Presidential Power to End Duty-Free Import Exemption

The U.S. Court of International Trade has affirmed President Trump's authority to revoke the "de minimus" exemption, which previously permitted duty-free imports for items under $800. This ruling aims to prevent "tariff cheats" and traffickers from exploiting the loophole, potentially impacting international trade practices and government revenue. The decision marks a significant legal victory for the administration's trade policy.
