The bill would
- Revoke de minimis eligibility—the option to import certain goods worth less than $800 without paying customs duties
- Require importers to report the 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule code for any goods imported from China
- Create new civil penalties for using the de minimis exception to import goods that would be ineligible under the bill
- Impose private-sector mandates on importers
Estimated budgetary effects would mainly stem from
- Additional collections of customs revenues and customs user fees
- Administrative costs for Customs and Border Protection
Areas of significant uncertainty include
- Projecting the volume of goods that would be subject to customs duties and customs user fees under the bill
