In this brief weekly update, Lara Guevara explains that the de minimis exemption for shipments has been eliminated. As a result, every parcel— even small restocks— now requires the full paperwork that previously was only needed for larger shipments. She contrasts this upcoming compliance burden with the current week’s focus on planning for a crisis scenario and a bestseller sell‑out, and signals that next week’s discussion will explore the clash between operations and compliance caused by the regulatory change.
