This is because of Trump’s tariffs. There is no longer a de minimus exception, everything has to go checked.
I googled de minimus.
The de minimis exemption, which allows shipments of less than $800 to avoid import duties and taxes, has become a critical tool in e-commerce supply chains to limit cross-border shipping costs.
The Biden admin actually got the ball rolling on removing the de minimis exception. It just synced up with Trump’s tariff threats.

Like I needed another reason to hate that man
De minimus was originally intended so you don’t have to pay tariffs on little $10 goodies you got while travelling. Then they raised it to $800 cause why not?
Dropshipping basically relies on this, US is about to go from probably the highest de minimus in the world to nothing.drop shipping basically relies on this
did trump accidentally kneecap the etsy AI shopfront industry???
10$ adjusted to inflation? Or 10$ originally 100 years ago?
More like 50 years ago but yeah $10 originally
America (and other places) should probably put an “adjusted for inflation” thing on any dollar amount appearing in a law
The treat flow has been interrupted, millions must perish
Really hoping this is for tariffs. Otherwise this is really, really bad news for trans people.

Sadly with the US collapsing, Australia and the UK are probably going to go down with them.

Well there goes my idea for yet another guitar pedal company
Meanwhile MAGA WE LOVE TRUMP GUITAR PEDALS CEO says “Our haters say Trump is propping up our business. Not true! Our pedals are best - that’s why we are doing an amazing amount of business. Our haters say our pedals are made in China and shipped here as finished products. That’s not true either! All are pedals have the MAGA WE LOVE TRUMP GUITAR PEDALS decal of authenticity that’s made and applied right here in the U-S-of-A!..”
You joke, but, uh…

No Mars is under attack by deists what don’t you understand about that
1060 struggling to run Outer Wilds? That doesn’t sound right, I played it on the same card and had no issues
I say ‘struggling’ but it did run it on Low without much issue, yet it looked like absolute dogshit so I was like “nah”
THEY BETTER NOT! I JUST ORDERED MY KATVR LOCO S AND IT’S ABOUT TO BE SHIPPED FROM CHINA DAMN IT!
Oooh! So jealous! Hope they get through without issues!
Thanks, I’m hoping to use it as part of my weight loss regimen!
Nice! Any specific apps you’re looking at?
Gonna play open world games and walk everywhere; even action games that need running. Hoping to play skyrimvr and the walking dead vr game.
Awesome. I’ve wanted to try that with a slidemill ever since seeing Thrill do his long ass run.
