Both platforms have disrupted the U.S. market with their ultra-low-cost products and unique consumer-to-manufacturer business models, offering massive price advantages over domestic competitors. With the Biden administration’s recent proposals to tighten trade regulations, particularly by targeting the de minimis rule, which allows goods under $800 to enter the U.S. without tariffs, the question arises—can the government actually save U.S. e-commerce from these formidable players?
