De Minimis ends May 2 — Small Importers Will Get Hammered
About This Video
The end of the de minimis rule is here — and it’s not just bad for direct-to-consumer brands. Small importers are about to get squeezed out of the system entirely.
In this clip, Kyle Blount and Dom Santomieri explain how:
Small shipments are no longer worth the cost
Only large-scale bulk importers will have margin to survive
DHL just suspended shipments over $800 ahead of the May 2 change
Customs liability is shifting, and the race is on to clear before the deadline
This is a game-changing moment for international small parcel shipping.
