Comment Submitted by Coalition for a Prosperous America

Summary: The Coalition for a Prosperous America, a bipartisan organization representing domestic producers, strongly supports the interim final rule to indefinitely suspend the de minimis exemption for non-postal merchandise. They argue that the exemption has become a loophole for evading duties, facilitating the entry of illicit goods like fentanyl and forced-labor products, and creating an unfair competitive disadvantage for U.S. manufacturers and retailers.
