DYK Post is reporting Chinese goods being refused for De Minimis due to Chinese Tarrifs
As per the DYK post (cross border shipping service) Facebook post, they had their trucks turned away today as there were Chinese made goods and they are no longer allowed to pass via the 800$ exclusion (de minimis, also known as section 321).

·1 year agoI got the notice from Stallion a few minutes ago, from what I can see of my shipments I have one that's supposed to cross today, the rest are showing in the US already (crossed yesterday before the tariffs). The one shipment from today is Canadian.
It sounds like Stallion is going to set something up to permit shipments to China and Hong Kong on their portal with extra steps, but that remains to be seen. It kind of would make sense to take all China/Hong Kong items down now.

·1 year agoSame with Stallion express, big long email. For any item Made in China the 10% tariff still stands.
This was actually one of the reasons they started forcing Canadians to register and go through formal commercial channels at the border a few years back. Large Chinese shippers were skirting US duty by splitting massive shipments into hundreds of de minimis shipments. It was a massive extra cost for small businesses and it helped the courier services do a massive expansion.
