from finalizing its proposed regulation and preventing the agency from enforcing it . The rule was slated to take effect on September 4th . This court ruling effectively terminates this proposal as President-elect Trump will select a new FTC Chairman .
The Biden Administration announced in mid-September that it would be taking action to combat de minimus misuse , especially on products coming in from China . Specifically , the administration announced they would issue two proposed rules by the end of 2024 . Those rulemakings would deny the use of de minimus for products currently under tariff and require additional data for shipments for products that do qualify for de minimis . Additionally , they announced an intention to finalize a rule requiring importers to file electronic certificates of compliance to CBP and CPSC . Unsatisfied with these announcements , bipartisan Congressional leaders are still attempting to finish work on their de minimis efforts before the end of the year . CLDA
