乐高(Lego)的“自选积木”(Pick a Brick)在线服务近期在美国和加拿大地区下架了数千种标准零件,这可能增加乐高爱好者定制和补充积木的难度。据报道,此次下架可能与美国总统特朗普此前调整的“低价值货物免税”政策有关。该政策取消了价值低于800美元的进口包裹免税待遇,此项调整于8月29日生效,恰好在乐高标准零件下架之后。由于乐高部分零件从欧洲仓库发货,而新政策影响了国际物流和成本,导致北美客户无法订购标准系列积木,但畅销系列积木仍可购买。受此影响,消费者可能需要转向第三方平台寻找所需零件。

📦 乐高“自选积木”服务在美国和加拿大暂停了数千种标准零件的供应,这可能对乐高爱好者定制和补充积木造成不便。该服务允许用户购买单个乐高积木,价格低至三美分。

📉 此次零件缺货的原因被广泛认为是美国总统特朗普调整关税政策所致。具体而言,特朗普政府取消了价值低于800美元的进口商品免征关税和税款的“低价值货物免税”政策,该政策于8月29日生效。

🌍 乐高标准系列零件主要从欧洲仓库发货,而畅销系列零件则存放在美国。新关税政策的实施影响了国际货运和成本,导致乐高无法继续为北美客户提供标准系列积木的订单。

🛒 对于急需标准零件的乐高爱好者,可以考虑在BrickOwl和BrickLink等第三方在线市场寻找替代品。这些平台可能提供用户转售的乐高零件。

⚖️ 美国政府取消“低价值货物免税”政策旨在打击逃避关税和非法商品(如合成阿片类药物)的进入。然而,此举也可能导致美国消费者购买的商品价格上涨,并迫使依赖国际商品的小型企业承担额外成本或提高价格。

Thousands of pieces from Lego's "Pick a Brick" service are no longer available to customers in the U.S. and Canada as of this week, which could make it harder for hobbyists to customize their sets and replace lost bricks. You can probably blame President Donald Trump.

Pick a Brick is an online service offered by the Lego Store that lets fans order individual pieces for as little as three cents. The Lego news and reviews site New Elementary reports that "thousands of elements" from its "Standard" collection were removed from the service for North American customers on Aug. 25. Approximately 1,500 pieces from its mainstream "Bestseller" collection still remain.

Lego is calling the removal a "service pause" in a note at the top of the Pick a Brick landing page. "In the US & Canada, Standard pieces are temporarily unavailable," the note reads. "You can still shop our Bestseller range which includes thousands of the most popular bricks and pieces ready to order."

Mashable has reached out to Lego to find out why the company has stopped shipping a swath of its selection, and we'll update this story if we hear back. But as New Elementary and others note, Trump's tariff policy is the likely reason.

More specifically, Trump has eliminated the "de minimis" import rule that exempted packages from taxes and customs duties like tariffs if they amounted to less than $800. The change went into effect on Aug. 29, four days after New Elementary flagged the Standard pieces' disappearance.

USA Today reports that more than 30 countries have stopped shipping to the U.S. in response to the end of di minimus — including Belgium and the Czech Republic, where Lego has distribution centers. Per New Elementary, Standard Pick a Brick pieces are stored and shipped to North American customers from Lego's European warehouses, while Bestseller pieces are located in the U.S.

AFOLs in search of Standard pieces that Lego no longer carries might have luck on third-party marketplaces like BrickOwl and BrickLink.

After ending the de minimis exemption for imports from China and Hong Kong in May, Trump ordered its global termination in July. A White House fact sheet announcing de minimis' suspension called it "a catastrophic loophole used to, among other things, evade tariffs and funnel deadly synthetic opioids as well as other unsafe or below-market products." But as Mashable previously reported, the end of the exemption will make previously cheap products more expensive for U.S. shoppers, and force small businesses that rely on international goods to decide between absorbing the new costs or increasing their prices.
