Defining the News

A group of retailers asked the government to abolish the “de minimis” rule for imported goods valued at P10,000 and below.

It also said the de minimis value creates an uneven playing field, putting local retailers who diligently pay taxes at a disadvantage to foreign e-commerce merchants who may not adhere to the same regulations. The de minimis value facilitates the entry of counterfeit and substandard products, jeopardizing consumer safety and product quality standards, the PRA said.
