China and US lower reciprocal tariffs

Major tariff cuts between China and the US take effect today.

US duties on CN imports drop from 154% to 30% (with some exceptions).

Ecommerce cleared under the de-minimis exemption is anticipated to be cleared as air freight (at 30%, +$6 per shipment) by default, instead of utilizing the postal network (+$11-100 per shipment).
