NEW YORK - eTradeWire -- In light of recent developments intensifying the U.S.-China trade conflict, the American Conference Institute (ACI) underscores the critical importance of its upcoming virtual series, "Passport to U.S. Customs Compliance," scheduled for June 2–18, 2025. This program is designed to equip trade professionals with the necessary tools to navigate the rapidly evolving customs landscape.​

Recent Trade Developments:

• DHL Suspends High-Value Shipments: Effective April 21, DHL has temporarily halted international deliveries to U.S. consumers for packages valued over $800. This decision responds to the surge in formal customs clearance requirements following the reduction of the de minimis threshold from $2,500 to $800, leading to significant processing delays. ​
• Tariff Escalations Impacting Industries: The retro gaming sector faces disruptions as companies like Anbernic and Retroid grapple with increased costs due to new tariffs. Polygon Similarly, retailers such as Shein and Temu have announced impending price hikes in response to the elimination of the de minimis exemption and the imposition of tariffs up to 145% on Chinese goods. ​
• CBP Issues New Guidance: U.S. Customs and Border Protection has released updated reporting requirements for reciprocal tariffs, emphasizing the need for accurate compliance amidst the shifting trade environment.​
