Yeah I'm sure most of it comes in through parcel post.

The de minimis provision was included in a broader order by Mr. Trump that imposed an extra 10 percent tariff on all imports from China.
Lower-value parcels from China, which previously were tariff-free, now face not only the 10 percent tariff but also the many complex tariffs on every category of goods that these shipments previously skirted entirely.

Mind you, it could be a good thing:

Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData Retail, a research and consulting firm, said that the decision to stop international packages coming from China and Hong Kong would have its greatest impact on marketplaces like Shein, Temu and to some extent Amazon.
