No, the argument for de minimis is that the cost to collect taxes on a $20 parcel is less than the collected tax.
Granted, the US' $800 de minimis, which was created because of a lack of funding to deal with the volume of shipping, was probably a bad decision in retrospect. But removing it entirely is another extreme.
