Trump delays tariffs on small packages from China

His revision to the order on Friday said tariff-free treatment for packages from China worth less than $800 would remain in place until “adequate systems are in place to fully and expediently process and collect tariff revenue”.

The move comes as some of the other rapid-fire changes Trump has announced since taking office last month have also met with roadblocks, including legal challenges.

Last weekend he said he was putting 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, before rapidly suspending those duties for a month to allow talks to continue.

On Friday, Trump said he expected to announce “reciprocal tariffs” on many countries next week, a plan he had outlined on the campaign trail by which the US would levy tariffs at the same rates that other counties apply to the equivalent products made in the US.
