  1. SS: President Donald Trump’s new trade levies against China, Canada and Mexico include a broadside against international e-commerce, with apparent plans to extinguish a long-held tariff exemption for packages worth less than $800.

    Critics say the flood of parcels from China via this loophole is hard to monitor and may contain illegal or dangerous goods.

  2. For environmental reasons, I’m OK with less plastic trash being shipped across the planet to only find itself in a landfill a week after arrival. Less shipping traffic and slave built trash is good.

    Obviously when Bezos is sitting behind the President, you need to keep eyes on all the motives. Amazon is a garbage factory as well.

    All these global machines do is drink money out of our communities. Unfortunately, Amazon will still exist as well and will probably enjoy less oversight and more crippling power than ever. Society should be rejecting all these companies when possible.

  3. This seems to also impact all latin america since a lot of people uses freight fowards companies in miami,florida to then be shipped to his countries…

  4. I have always though its crazy that Americans and Canadians allow orders of $800 or lower enter without any import duties.

    In UK everything I ever ordered from Alibaba was delivered with import duty added unless I could prove that they were free samples.

  6. I’m sure giving Bezos’s company less competition was totally unintentional. There’s totally an ethical and moral reason this is happening /s

  7. And we had to wait until Trump is elected for this action to be taken! An indictment on past administration
