With the planned abolition of the Minimass Customs Exemption in the United States on August 29th, the physical universe is made of visible material and dark matter, so you might be shocked by thhue, who believes that the political world is made with democratic and Republicans, “left” and “right.” Minimas restrictions have begun under democratic rule and are pursued under Republican rule. “Trade Repression,” Wall Street Journal, September 13, 2024. )
Manimis’s use of Latin expressions (“About About” and Minimis are “small things”) is inspired by the Roman Maxim of Minimis Non Curat Praetor, or “The praiser is not related to the full three copies.” Under the Roman Republic, priests were a kind of judge who governed civil justice in Rome and its foreign territories. Aphorisms are often interpreted as saying that the law does not cooperate with insignificant things or violations.
Minimis is worth noting to explain the exemption from customs duties (duty); In the United States, items imported from overseas and under $800 are exempt from customs duties unless restricted by other laws. The legal source of this exemption is 19USC §1321(a)(2)(c) and is part of the famous Smoot Holy Act of 1930. Therefore, up until now, when ordering items below the threshold from a foreign country, there is no need to pay customs duties to make the package a requirement. Minimum items from China have already ended in May. The benefits of this exemption have become even more important as US tariffs have increased significantly from 2.2% last year (WTO diagram) to the 10% to 50% today.
They want to be a circle of collectivists and “close the loophole.” The abolition of the small freedoms allowed by Minimis is more important than one might think.
For the government, the exception had the advantage of keeping “people” quiet by hiding sub-duty. Tarif is a different way of hidden tax when alimming by a commercial intermediary. Once imported, they are quietly incorporated into the price.
When consumers want a sub and suppliers offer it at a total price from anywhere, only forced can prevent traces. The supplier is a VRAE entrepreneur in its efforts to serve consumers. Platforms like Shein, Temu and Orsy have discovered that they can connect American consumers with foreign suppliers. These transactions have grown rapidly in the past few years from 637 million shipments to the US in 2020 to 136 billion in 2024. The best isn’t a billionaire deal. The average package is $54 (2023).
The platform in question is often used by small American entrepreneurs who meet orders in foreign countries and meet orders with items shipped. Is Allen involved with American producers and consumers in some of the “people”? This question reminds me of the heart of Anthony in Jasai. “Government” means hurting sub-individuals in order to support others. In the case under consideration, minimal sobs – some workers and shareholders of the American manufacturing industry are the main beneficiaries at the expense of American consumers and shippers, among other things.
If trade is restricted – For example, when states reduce orders from overseas, it should be noted that consumer freedom and orderly residents have been partially replaced by the capabilities of domestic consumer thumbstick producers.
More generally, all of this reminds us of sub-funds of social, economic and political life. The fundamental fault lines of politics must be reconstructed as a distinction between the superiority of collective (and political) choice and the superiority of individual (private) choice. The advantage of individual choice means that collective choice is the exception and can be justified by all the theoretical requirements explained by the Constitutional Faculty of Political and Economics. On the other hand, the advantage of collective choices means that individual choices arise from loopholes.
This way of looking at the situation is similar to the distinction between a social arrangement in which everything is permitted, not all is explicitly prohibited, and a political system in which everything is prohibited, not explicitly. Jasai’s Anthony partially justifies the first alternative with an epistemic argument that the second actually requires an almost infinite list of what is permitted. The companion argument is that banning everything cancels the benefits of life in society for most people (except for the banned).
Therefore, we are led to discover that in a collectivist political system, freedom is a loophole in which a group can close freely, that is, at the pleasure of its ruler. Collectivism and individualism are the issues of not overriding the argument of general presumptions that support individual choice, at least on the boundaries between them.
