    Washington, DC--

    On November 30th, 32 U.S. Senators signed a letter to President Joe Biden expressing concern about the USTR's recent announcement withdrawing U.S. support for digital trade policies at the negotiations on the WTO Joint Statement Initiative on Electronic Commerce. The Senators also ask the President for consultation with Congress before changing longstanding U.S. trade policy as the USTR's October 25th announcement at the WTO caught everyone by surprise. The letter is a great summary of these digital trade policies and anyone in the e-commerce industry should review it.

     Proposals to eliminate duty-free imports are akin to levying new taxes on Americans | The Hill
    "As you enjoy those Cyber Monday deals, keep de minimis in mind. Channel the Thanksgiving spirit for the U.S.’s de minimis threshold, which provides you the freedom to order from almost anywhere in the world at a lower cost and gives small businesses more choice for their inputs to keep American exports competitive."

    Washington, D.C.--

    On October 30, 2023, the President issued E.O. 14110 on "Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence" setting out the Administration's policy and principles. 

    This E.O. will definitely impact cross-border e-commerce as EMTC has included provision using Artificial Intelligence in its Proposal for 21st Century Customs Framework (Redline Version 2).
