New US policies may delay packages, increase costs for popular online shopping sites
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — New U.S. policies on goods imported from China could lead to longer wait times and higher costs for online shoppers, particularly those purchasing from popular platforms like Shein and Temu.
The U.S. Postal Service temporarily paused accepting packages from China for a day as it adjusted to new tariffs.
Additionally, the White House has ended a policy that allowed packages valued under $800 to enter the U.S. without customs inspection or certain taxes.
The removal of this exemption is expected to result in delays and increased costs for many packages from China.
Experts suggest that these changes could significantly impact consumers who frequently use services like Temu or Shein.
However, it remains unclear how much of a delay or price increase shoppers might experience.
To mitigate these potential issues, online retailers might consider establishing warehouses within the U.S.
