Etsy shares fell after the Trump administration ended the $800 duty-free “de minimis” import exemption, according to Benzinga. The change disrupts international shipping and straining the platform’s global seller network. The policy, effective Monday, forces tariffs on lower-value goods, leading postal services in South Korea, Sweden, Denmark, and the Czech Republic to suspend shipments to the U.S. The shipping halt cuts off Etsy’s international sellers from U.S. buyers, while looming import duties risk raising costs and weakening cross-border demand. Shares closed down 8.41%.
