Group 1 - The U.S. will terminate the "small package exemption" policy on May 2, which previously allowed low-value imports from China to enter the U.S. without tariffs [1][5] - The exemption policy was originally established in 1938 for packages valued under $5, later raised to $800 in 2016, but has faced scrutiny due to the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce from China [1][3] - In 2023, the export value of low-priced packages from China to the U.S. surged from $5.3 billion in 2018 to $66 billion, indicating a significant market impact [1][9] Group 2 - The cancellation of the exemption is expected to force U.S. businesses reliant on Chinese supply chains to reassess their operational models to maintain cost competitiveness [3][5] - U.S. manufacturers are likely to benefit from the new tariffs, as they may face less competition from low-cost imports [9][10] - The logistics sector will also face challenges, with increased customs procedures leading to higher costs and potential delivery delays [7][9] Group 3 - France is following the U.S. lead by proposing to impose fees on small packages valued under €150 from China, which will primarily affect fast-fashion brands and cross-border platforms [13][14] - The French government aims to enhance customs oversight and product safety through the collected fees, indicating a broader trend of protectionism in Europe [14][20] - The European Union plans to eliminate the exemption for packages under €150 by 2028, with discussions among member states to implement this sooner [23][25] Group 4 - The combined impact of U.S. and European policies could significantly hinder China's small package exports, which are crucial for its manufacturing sector [22][27] - In 2024, China's cross-border e-commerce platforms are expected to ship approximately 4 billion small packages to EU countries, highlighting the importance of these markets [27] - The overall value of small package exports to the U.S. and EU could exceed hundreds of billions, making the potential loss from protectionist measures substantial for Chinese manufacturers [27][28]
