Trump Tariff Tracker -- August 28

The implementation of the reciprocal tariffs continues to have an impact on U.S. consumers. The "de minimis" exemption, which allows packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. duty-free, is ending tomorrow, August 29. The exemption covered 1.36 billion packages worth $64.6 billion in 2024, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Packages that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will now be subject to their originating country's reciprocal tariff rate or otherwise pay a flat surcharge. Packages from countries assigned with tariff rates of 15% or less will be charged an additional $80, countries with 16%–25% tariffs will face an extra $160 per package, and countries with tariffs over 25% will be assessed a $200 surcharge.
