The United States government delayed new customs requirements for small international shipments by 90 days, postponing potential price hikes for imported prescription drugs until January 20, 2027. The deferral avoids a political flashpoint ahead of the November midterm elections, where living costs remain a central debate. The policy targets the de minimis tariff exemption on shipments under $800, which aims to implement broader customs changes by July 2027.
