The United States ends a tariff exemption for small parcels on Friday .

Some retailers have stopped selling to U.S. customers while others are seeking temporary workarounds.

The removal of “de minimis” duty-free treatment of e-commerce packages worth less than $800 for products originating from China and Hong Kong exposes those goods to 145 per cent on most Chinese goods.

“With prices going up from this part of the trade, I wonder if some Americans might start going back to shopping centres to find value there,” George Weston , CEO of Primark owner Associated British Foods , told Reuters on Tuesday .
