Partner Ginger Faulk speaks with Law360 about the end of the US duty exemption for low-value imports, known as the de minimis exemption, including the anticipated impact for some importers and customers, new administrative and compliance obligations for carriers and some possible mitigation approaches.

"The impact on any given company will depend on both the country of origin of their imports and on whether they customarily import low-value items, whether direct to consumer or otherwise," she said.
