PublicSquare

The future belongs to small business owners who power local economies around our great nation 🇺🇸

We at PublicSquare could not be more enthusiastic about Kelly Loeffler's confirmation by the Senate to lead the Small Business Administration. Kelly will bring her pro-freedom track record from her time in the United States Senate and her intentional focus on her local community to this essential role in the Trump administration. With her leadership strength, notable accomplishments as an entrepreneur, and passion for protecting the American dream for small business owners, ‘Main Street’ America should feel great confidence knowing they will have an experienced fighter on their side. We're excited to see Kelly lead the charge in advocating for small businesses and everyday Americans, we're grateful for Kelly's investment in PublicSquare and the guidance she has provided to our organization, and we wish her nothing but success in this endeavor. $PSQH 🇺🇸 https://lnkd.in/e7FfMxWW

It's hard to overstate how positive this development is for the American people and American companies. Let's talk about how "de minimis entries" have been used to harm the American people and incentivize corruption for decades. First, for some background, “de minimis entries” refer to low-value shipments that are exempt from duties and taxes when imported into the United States. Under Section 321 of the Tariff Act of 1930, shipments valued at < $800 (this number was $200 before 2016) can enter the U.S. without paying import duties or undergoing rigorous customs screening. An international shipment valued at < $800 bypasses standard customs duties, taxes, and formal entry procedures. The rule applies per shipment, per day, per importer, so companies can split large orders into multiple small shipments to take advantage of this exemption. Because these shipments don’t undergo rigorous inspection, it's easier and faster for foreign sellers to ship products directly to U.S. consumers while avoiding proper due diligence. "De minimis entries" have been specifically harmful because: 1. They incentivize tariff evasion. In 2022, a staggering 685 million shipments imported to the US benefited from the de minimis exemption. This means fraudulent companies that have benefitted heavily from this exemption (like Temu) paid $0 in import taxes on these goods. Why would these companies change their operating procedures if our corrupt loopholes allow them to continue as is? These foreign adversaries are literally incentivized to take advantage of Americans. 2. They increase counterfeit & unsafe products. De minimis shipments don’t face the same rigorous inspections as traditional imports, so counterfeit goods, fraudulently marketed products, fake medications, etc., can enter the US largely unchecked. A recent Business Insider article from November 2024 reported that authorities in South Korea found toxic substances, including lead, in Temu and AliExpress children's products, with one jacket containing 622 times the legal limit for such substances. So, while legitimate US brands are held to a higher standard regarding the quality of their products, cheap crap made from countries that hate us floods into our country with minimal checks and balances. 3. They decrease potential US tax revenue. Under this structure, importers can forgo traditional import duties, resulting in billions of dollars in potential revenue lost. Meanwhile, the US simultaneously increases taxes on American citizens to make up for the gap. 4. They support the "Forced Labor and unethical Production" market. Many de minimus entries come from countries with little to no labor regulations. China has a long track record of producing products using illegal and forced labor. Yet, under this system, these products enter the US market freely, and without proper customs checks, the US cannot adequately enforce labor and human rights laws on these imports. More below ⬇️
