De Minimis loophole expires for Chinese-made goods on May 2nd
Imported goods that are valued at or under $800 will no longer qualify for duty-free entry and will be subject to all applicable U.S. duties, processed under applicable entry and payment procedures. Applies to all shipments from China sent via postal and commercial carriers.
All shipments will also be subject to a duty rate based on their declared value, ranging between 35% and 145% or more.
Shipments that are valued at or under $800 are subject to an additional $100 per shipment — increasing to $200 per item after June 1, 2025.

The De Minimis exemption is expected to be revoked entirely for all countries once the U.S. implements a more comprehensive tax collection system. For now, this new policy applies only to goods originating from China.

• Duties will be $100 per item on May 2, 2025.
• Increases to $200 per order on June 1, 2025.
Additional requirements for brands may include:
• Licenses, certification, importer SSN, and origin of proof.
Consumer Impact:
• Packages may be held in customs until additional duties and taxes are paid for.
