LOS ANGELES -A new U.S. crackdown on customs brokers handling billions of dollars in inexpensive online shopping orders from giants like China-linked Shein and Temu is likely to cause delivery delays and bottlenecks, industry experts said.
The crackdown comes as more than 1 billion packages, averaging around $50 in value, are forecast to arrive in the U.S. this year driven by robust consumer demand for fast-fashion made by Chinese factories, among other things. Some U.S. lawmakers say the rules allowing duty-free imports on packages below $800 in value give e-commerce firms in China and other nations an unfair advantage over domestic retailers. Critics also charge that the administration has not done enough to stop the country's deadly fentanyl crisis.
CBP also suspended SEKO from the agency's Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism security program, according to SEKO. Many Fortune 500 companies require their vendors to have that certification."We are incredibly disappointed by, and strongly disagree with, the original decision by CBP," SEKO CEO James Gagne said on Tuesday, adding that the company maintained a "99.999+%" compliance rate in the expedited clearance program.
