    In Executive Order 14226, the President is updating a previous order regarding duties on items crossing the northern border to help reduce the flow of illegal drugs. This amendment specifically changes how certain goods are treated under a policy that allows duty-free treatment for small shipments, known as de minimis treatment. This exemption will no longer apply once the Secretary of Commerce confirms that the standard processes for collecting tariffs are in place. The order clarifies that it does not alter any legal authority and does not grant any new legal rights to individuals.

    Simple Explanation

    The president made a new rule about packages coming from the north to stop bad drugs from sneaking in. It says that unless some special systems are ready, little packages may no longer skip paying their fees.
