Dropship China Pro reports that e-commerce sellers are increasingly adopting China-to-US hybrid fulfillment models more than a year after the United States ended its $800 de minimis exemption for China and Hong Kong shipments in May 2025, with all other origins following in August 2025. The regulatory change requires formal customs entry and full duty payment for direct-from-China parcels that previously entered duty-free, fundamentally altering international e-commerce logistics. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency processed more than 1.36 billion de minimis shipments in fiscal year 2024 before the exemption ended. Director of Operations Sackod Diadie says the company is seeing a clear shift toward bulk importing with duty paid at entry and then fulfilling from US warehouses, enabling one-to-three-day delivery. Dropship China Pro handles over 30,000 parcels daily across its global network, serving more than 2,500 active e-commerce stores from warehouses in Hangzhou, Dongguan, Pomona, and New Brunswick.
