## Summary

**Tightens low‑value import rules to stop split‑shipment schemes and force accurate tariff reporting for goods from tariffed countries.** This bill would condition the $800 de minimis benefit on new reporting and classification rules, bar split shipments used to evade duties, and create penalties for violations. - Importers and online sellers would need to provide a 10‑digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification for covered articles on electronic entry filings and could lose the de minimis benefit if shipments are split to evade duties. Penalties would be $5,000 for a first violation and $10,000 for each subsequent violation. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would receive required HTS data via authorized electronic data interchange and could deny the de minimis admission privilege when the new conditions are not met. - Articles from countries with goods subject to duties or restrictions under Title VII safeguards, section 201, section 301, or section 232 would be ineligible for the subparagraph (C) de minimis benefit. - The amendments would apply to articles entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption beginning 30 days after enactment.
