US Trade Rep explains motivation for actions against de minimis duty exemptions having seen abuse

North Carolina Congressman Greg Murphy and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer discuss why the administration was taking action to minimize de minimis imports, explaining that while the practice originated as a way for tourists or others to purchase souvenirs overseas and bring them back duty-free, foreign companies had abused the system by building entire business models around it, undermining many retailers in the United States, making it important to ensure the tool was used for its original purpose rather than for unintended commercial exploitation at an annual hearing by the House Ways and Means Committee on the Trump Administration's trade agenda.
