The U.S. Customs and Border Protection have published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM):

Freightwaves news article:

"Currently, merchandise subject to quotas or antidumping and countervailing duties are not eligible for the de minimis administrative exemption, but goods subject to Section 201, 232 and 301 tariffs may still claim the exemption. CBP is now proposing to exclude those goods from de minimis, meaning that if they are covered by the 301 tariffs they would require a formal entry and payment of duty of up to 25% of the value."
