This is because of Trump's tariffs. There is no longer a de minimus exception, everything has to go checked.

I googled de minimus.

The de minimis exemption, which allows shipments of less than $800 to avoid import duties and taxes, has become a critical tool in e-commerce supply chains to limit cross-border shipping costs.

The Biden admin actually got the ball rolling on removing the de minimis exception. It just synced up with Trump's tariff threats.
