Will the Personal Exemption Amount protect my order from tariffs?Updated 10 months ago

No. 

The Personal Exemption Amount, or “De Minimis Threshold”, typically would protect all orders crossing into the U.S. with a value of $800 USD or below from import fees and taxes. This guaranteed no additional charges during delivery and a faster processing time at customs. 

While the tariff on Chinese and Canadian-made goods are implemented, the Personal Exemption Amount for low-value products shipped from China or Canada has been removed. Therefore, even shipments valued under $800 USD from China or Canada will subject to duties and taxes.
