Should I expect to pay Tariffs on Tayda Orders?

Is the $800 deminimis thing still in effect for Thailand? Did that only go away for China so far?

Hi All. Can someone confirm my understanding of the new tariffs and the changes to the de minimis law about paying tariffs on imports is correct? The de minimis law of not having to pay tariffs on goods under $800 still applies so long as the shipment is not being imported from China or Hong Kong, right? I don’t think I’ll have to pay the new tariff rate for my next Tayda order, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance.

i was just on that website i thought it was Canadian for some reason i found everything i needed easily but at checkout i got confused its thai? the currency exchange i did not understand
 
Mine got here yesterday and also no tariffs (also under the de minimis). I would like clarification on this as well. I've heard that 12:00am May 2nd it officially goes away from every country currently with an existing de minimis exemption, but the rapidity of changes makes nothing clear. i.e. I'm expecting 36% after May 2nd, but we'll see how a mind(?) changes things.
 
If this is true, I feel pretty good about getting my order in--I was sitting on that order since november, and these threads about tarriffs finally got me nervous enough to act on it.

I thought we no longer have a beef with every country, but who knows, it seems to be a fluid situation.

My current assumptions from whatever I've been able to find:

De minimis is still in place today. Anything under 800 is still tariff free.

De minimis for China is scheduled to go away May 2nd. Stated intention is to remove it for all countries later - date not yet announced.

One part that gets confusing for me is how Tayda shipments for items manufactured in China will be treated after May 2nd.

My original assumption was that whatever I bought from Thailand would just be subject to the Thailand rules, but a recent post here claimed that tariffs would be applied per item based on what country they were manufactured in. That seems like a crazy admin nightmare, but from what I've read about the rules for "Country of origin" that could be the case.

But even if that's the case, would it only apply if the total of the shipment from Thailand exceeded 800? I don't know.


Bottom line - Nobody here has reported paying any tariffs on any shipments under 800 yet. It seems like a safe bet that if you stay under 800 and you can get your shipment to customs before May 2, you're good. One thing that might help in cases like this is choosing a payment service that handles international compliance more cleanly. I’ve seen some people switch to https://a-pay.one/ when ordering from different countries, especially when dealing with mixed-origin shipments. It seems to streamline the process and minimize issues with customs declarations or payment rejections.

And, this next part is a wild guess on my part - but I bet there won't be any tariffs applied to anything from Tayda until de minimis goes away for Thailand - which hasn't been scheduled yet.

You're not alone—this topic has been confusing for a lot of people lately. Based on what I've gathered and seen others report:


You're right that the de minimis threshold (under $800) is still currently in effect, meaning no tariffs for imports under that amount, regardless of origin—for now. The key date is indeed May 2nd, when the U.S. is set to remove the de minimis exemption specifically for goods originating from China.


As for Tayda shipments, it gets tricky. If Tayda ships from Thailand but includes items manufactured in China, then under the rules of "country of origin," those Chinese-made items may still be considered Chinese for tariff purposes. That means even if the shipping point is Thailand, customs may assess tariffs based on the origin of individual items—yes, a logistical nightmare.


However, that would only become a real concern if de minimis is removed for Thailand too. So far, there's been no announcement of that happening, so as long as your total declared value is under $800, and the shipment clears customs before May 2nd, you're likely fine.


After May 2nd, if the de minimis change for China takes effect as planned, shipments with Chinese-origin items may start getting flagged—even if they're shipped from somewhere else.


Your guess seems reasonable: until Thailand loses de minimis status, Tayda shipments from Thailand that are under $800 probably won't see a change right away. But it’s worth keeping an eye on how customs handles mixed-origin shipments going forward.
