Over the last few years, Temu and Shein have gained immense popularity in the U.S. by offering ultra-cheap prices on trendy products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, behind the scenes, there have been concerns about their supply chains, including accusations of child labour and forced labour. But for many consumers, the temptation of $5 hoodies and $30 suits is too good to pass up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeing this rising competition, Amazon launched a new discount store called <strong>Amazon Haul<\/strong> to compete with Temu and Shein in November 2024, offering budget-friendly products under $20, including phone cases for just $2!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/ecomclips.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/amazon-haul-1024x573.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecomclips.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/amazon-haul-1024x573.webp 1024w, https:\/\/ecomclips.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/amazon-haul-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/ecomclips.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/amazon-haul-768x430.webp 768w, https:\/\/ecomclips.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/amazon-haul.webp 1145w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a942f9ef5ee9b059c26927d4fb85b55c\"><strong>The De Minimis Loophole \u2013 A Backdoor for Tax-Free Imports (What are the main arguments for and against closing the de minimis loophole)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump closes de minimis loophole for china, impacting bargain sites like Shein and Temu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The secret behind the cheap pricing strategy of Temu, Shein, and Amazon Haul is the De Minimis exemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rule allowed packages valued under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free, meaning companies didn\u2019t have to pay import taxes on these products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By shipping directly to consumers, Temu and Shein avoided massive warehouse costs and barely needed a presence in the U.S. at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How the Loophole Changed E-Commerce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The exemption has existed for nearly 100 years but became a game-changer when the threshold increased from $200 to $800 in the 2010s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The result?
