Last week, very quietly, a fundamental shift in how imports into the USA are treated took effect. For the last several decades, residents of the USA have enjoyed an $800 duty free limit (de minimis) on goods they import from overseas. That limit has gone to $0, meaning that you will pay more for virtually anything you purchase from outside the USA.

I'll explain what's going on, and how you can protect yourself (and your wallet).
