Quick rundown.
The de minimis import regulations in the United States, which allow goods valued at $800 or less to enter the country duty-free, are undergoing significant changes aimed at curbing misuse and enhancing trade compliance.
**Background on De Minimis Regulations**
The de minimis threshold permits the informal entry of low-value shipments, exempting them from duties and taxes to facilitate trade and reduce administrative burdens. In 2016, the U.S. increased this threshold from $200 to $800 per shipment.
**Recent Developments**
In September 2024, the Biden administration announced plans to tighten de minimis regulations due to concerns over exploitation by certain e-commerce platforms, particularly those based in China, such as Shein and Temu. These companies have been shipping large volumes of low-cost goods to U.S. consumers, leveraging the de minimis exemption to avoid tariffs and thorough inspections.
**Proposed Changes**
The proposed regulatory adjustments include:
- **Exclusion of Certain Goods**: Shipments containing products subject to tariffs under Sections 201, 232, or 301 of U.S. trade laws will no longer qualify for the de minimis exemption. This change targets goods that pose risks to domestic industries or national security.
- **Enhanced Data Requirements**: Importers will be required to provide additional information for de minimis shipments, including the 10-digit Harmonized System (HS) code and the identity of the person claiming the exemption. This measure aims to improve visibility and enforcement capabilities.
- **Certificates of Compliance**: Importers of consumer products may need to file electronic certificates of compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at the time of entry, ensuring adherence to safety standards.
**Legislative Actions**
In addition to executive measures, bipartisan legislative efforts are underway to reform de minimis provisions. The proposed "FIGHTING for America Act" seeks to restrict the use of de minimis entry procedures for shipments from certain countries, with a focus on China, to prevent the influx of illicit goods and support fair trade practices.
**Implications for Businesses**
These changes are expected to impact e-commerce platforms and importers that have relied on the de minimis exemption to expedite shipments and reduce costs. Affected businesses may need to adjust their logistics and compliance strategies, potentially facing increased tariffs and more stringent customs procedures.
**Implementation Timeline**
The proposed rules will undergo a public comment period before finalization. While specific timelines have not been detailed, businesses involved in cross-border trade should monitor developments closely and prepare for the forthcoming regulatory environment.

Well Tracy sent my 10 kit GH and igf lr3 to some cock smoker in Chicago (not where I'm at) so whoever on this board is in Chicago that got my shit, DM Me and we can square up.

Yes
The one in Chicago? If so that sucks. If not who did it start tracking with and what was the first scan. Still hoping mine starts tracking.

Great find I hadn't seen it. Nothing too surprising in there I wasn't aware of. Even absent the soon to pass legislation, these new rules alone will be sufficient to make carrying contraband so painful for Chinese logistics companies that it's hard to see how anything illegal (that's not worth a fortune per kg and therefore worth taking the risk to smuggle hidden in something else, which AAS are not), that it's hard to see how this isn't the end of the UGL market as it's been for the last few years.
Although, admirably, no one seems too freaked out over their packs being opened and sent on rather than seized, my guess is it's intelligence gathering for the new enforcement phase that will kick in 3 months from now.
I really hope this doesn't stop peptides, but because of the "complying with consumer safety" requirement it might.
The bottom line is this. Unless you want to roll the dice on sky high prices and sketchy availability with whatever new market replaces the current one, probobly stuff smuggled in the old fashioned hard/high risk way to domestic vendors, you really need to "Stock up" right now.
The 90 day clock is ticking, and as a practical matter it's probably not that long.
As this document notes, many companies are already complying with the stricter requirements voluntarily to prove they have nothing to hide, in the hopes containers with just their stuff get let in without being searched from top to bottom.
It's happening, the primary way Chinese UGLs get stuff to the US is ending, there is no "return to normal" after this.

Thanks man! I seen it pop up and figured I would share it. Being a .gov PDF would show you have been right about what is coming. Feel free to post it wherever it'll be seen the most. This thread gets a lot of visibility but things get buried quickly.

No I have another one still not updated. YT

Yeah so far all these steps have been mentioned in bits and pieces, from articles quoting CBP, the logistics companies telling customers what they expect will happen and how to properly comply, etc, but this wraps it all up in a neat package.

That would really only help the country that got him first. European LE would gain no benefit from a list of a bunch of US resellers. And vice versa. Maybe Israel or Ukraine could offer the list to America for another 500 trillion tax dollars but we'll probably be giving them that regardless.
This would honestly explain why he goes 0-100 on people who complain too much. A french fella on tren is a lot of angst in one human.

Also, holy shit it is a culture shock to see the price difference from other sources. I'll be okay for light personal use, but seeing 2 vials go for the same price as a whole kit... Ouchies.
This was a shitty time to run out of GH. I will admit I should've listened to Ghoul a month ago. However, I'm confident that things will find a way back. The fall of one empire is just an opening for the next guy to come along.
Everyone complains about the quality of Chinese stuff. Wait til we have to get shit from Mexico and you'll be wishing floaters were the only problem.

On December 25th I ordered:
1 Kit NPP
2 Kit Masteron E
10 Kits HCG
10g MK677
Package tracked to customs in LA where it said it was listed as seized or returned to sender. I tried to contact Tracy but of course he was MIA. Then package started moving normally. The box shows up today and it's got CBP tape on it. Wife opened box at location away from our home and they had torn open all the mylar bags and looked through everything. That alone is scary enough but what's worse is it's not even my package. Box contains three kits of Tren H and nothing else. Customs had clearly examined the bottles because some of them were upside down and then just sent it along?? What a fucking nightmare and there is no one around to make it right. This shit would happen on the one order I waited to long to place and am now going to run out of shit.

All these stories make me think that CBP must have had an extensive DEI program going on. This level of incompetence can only be achieved by bottom-of-the-barrel AA hires.

If that's humor, you almost got me. If not, use search for Tren-H. Oils ship separately from everything else.

Way to aim high!
Just realistic. Safe to say nobody on the planet is getting a full cycle from a prescription through an FDA approved lab.
Cartels will be happy to start brewing and sending it over themselves. Can't wait to see everyone's reaction when there's leftover crank or blood in the batches coming from our Mexican neighbors. Or better yet when they send raws at 80% purity. Going to make the Chinese folks look like Walter White.

Pretty sure it'll still come from China, but the added complexity and middlemen will make things necessarily more expensive than putting it in the mail in China and having it arrive at the customer's door in the US.
We already see the premium for domestic, now it'll be more expensive for them to get stock.
PS: Don't feel too bad, no matter how well you prepare, you can't help but think "I should've. gotten more xx when it was cheap,", But at least I got enough of the "essentials" I won't suffer and can ride it out until things settle down.
