Yes, designated as emerging market, shipping products with a value of less than a certain amount, say $900, is essentially "free" into the US. There are no duties or tarriffs from what I understand. Given that each product is shipped individually to the end receipient, rather than in a wholesale mass, entitiles this benefit. Even though all of the shipments end up in the same shipping containers.

China was classified as a developing country for purposes of e-commerce. Small shipments can be sent from China to consumers via the US Mail system at extremely low cost - far below the rate YOU would pay to ship the same thing to someone in the next state.

As an added bonus, almost all shipments to US consumers from China are tax and duty free; while a commercial shipment made within the US would be subject to applicable sales taxes.
