Starting August 29, the United States will suspend duty-free treatment for imported parcels valued at $800 or less. National Public Radio (NPR) recently cited an analysis by the Cato Institute, a U.S. think tank, warning that this move will deal a heavy blow to low-income Americans while further destabilizing global logistics. In response to the new rule, 25 countries have already announced they will halt parcel deliveries to the U.S. The fallout of this American-style “cocooning itself” is plain to see.
