A bill to prohibit certain entities from entering articles under the administrative exemption from duties for de minimis entries of articles.

Bill 118 s 5435, also known as the "Prohibition of De Minimis Entries Act," aims to prevent certain entities from taking advantage of the administrative exemption from duties for de minimis entries of articles.

The bill specifically targets entities that have been exploiting this exemption to avoid paying duties on imported goods by splitting up shipments into smaller, de minimis entries. These entities have been able to avoid paying duties on these smaller entries, resulting in lost revenue for the government.

If passed, this bill would prohibit these entities from continuing to use this loophole and would require them to pay duties on all imported goods, regardless of the size of the entry. This would help ensure that all entities are paying their fair share of duties and prevent abuse of the de minimis entry system. Overall, the Prohibition of De Minimis Entries Act aims to promote fairness and accountability in the payment of duties on imported goods and prevent entities from exploiting loopholes in the system.
