Oregon Rep. Blumenauer wants Congress to remove exception allowing uninspected imports

Before he leaves Congress, Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer wants officials to remove a loophole that has existed since the 1930s. Created in 1938, the de minimis exception allows foreign packages to be shipped into the U.S. uninspected and untaxed as long as they’re worth less than a certain amount. AP News reported that packages required inspection if they were worth more than $5 when the rule was first adopted.
