U.S. CBP implements executive order suspending duty-free de minimis treatment for all countries
Effective August 29, 2025
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) today released a notice to implement Executive Order 14324, which suspends duty-free de minimis treatment for all countries (read TradeNewsFlash).
This order affects the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) and requires that all covered products, regardless of country of origin, valued at $800 or less, be entered using an appropriate entry type in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) by a qualified party. The order establishes a new duty rate for products sent through the international postal network.
Effective August 29, 2025, shipments not sent through the international postal network will be subject to applicable duties, taxes, and fees. Shipments sent through the international postal network will have specific duty rates based on the effective International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariff rate.
