This is because of Trump's tariffs. There is no longer a de minimus exception, everything has to go checked.

I googled de minimus.

The de minimis exemption, which allows shipments of less than $800 to avoid import duties and taxes, has become a critical tool in e-commerce supply chains to limit cross-border shipping costs.

    De minimus was originally intended so you don't have to pay tariffs on little $10 goodies you got while travelling. Then they raised it to $800 cause why not?
    Dropshipping basically relies on this, US is about to go from probably the highest de minimus in the world to nothing.

    10$ adjusted to inflation? Or 10$ originally 100 years ago?

    Really hoping this is for tariffs. Otherwise this is really, really bad news for trans people.

    Meanwhile MAGA WE LOVE TRUMP GUITAR PEDALS CEO says "Our haters say Trump is propping up our business. Not true! Our pedals are best - that's why we are doing an amazing amount of business. Our haters say our pedals are made in China and shipped here as finished products. That's not true either! All are pedals have the MAGA WE LOVE TRUMP GUITAR PEDALS decal of authenticity that's made and applied right here in the U-S-of-A!..."
