    The de minimus exemption was never meant to be used as a loophole by any business, big or small. He’s basically admitting tax fraud. “I bought lots of sub $800 orders to avoid paying taxes and it’s the only thing that kept me profitable!”

      That’s sounds roughly equivalent to “structuring” in the money laundering industry.

        that is what the de minimis loophole is though, and it is ideologically consistent with tariffs and trumps economic view so it is what he voted for
