Got my order yesterday. $250 order. No tariff so far for me
Received! No extra fees charged or due as of yetAny updates on this?
As far as I know, the only country this applies to is China.Is the $800 deminimis thing still in effect for Thailand? Did that only go away for China so far?
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 understandHi 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 wonder if there is a minimum order before tariffs when importing from Thailand.My $300 Tayda order arrived yesterday, no tariffs... I'll be looking for a bill in
Not for nothing, Robert spending only $300 at Tayda is equivalent to the Chris Rock “One Rib” situationMy $300 Tayda order arrived yesterday, no tariffs... I'll be looking for a bill in the mail.
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.
Just tried to place an order. They say tariffs are covered but only offer the option of a flat $15+ DHS shipping feee. 2-4 days. My order was around $18. So I'll wait until I have a larger order.
