US trade court upholds Trump's closure of de minimis tariff exemption
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled in favor of President Donald Trump's 2025 decision to rescind the 'de minimis' exemption that allowed imports under $800 to enter the country tariff-free. The ruling affects cheap imports from Chinese retailers like Temu and Shein and represents a rare win for the president in the trade court's review of emergency economic powers.
