Policy Shift: America Scraps $800 Duty-Free Threshold on International Shipments from August 29

Latest company news about Policy Shift: America Scraps $800 Duty-Free Threshold on International Shipments from August 29

The White House's latest executive order announces that, effective August 29, the U.S. will fully suspend the de minimis tariff exemption policy for small-value parcels. This change will directly impact the operational costs of all cross-border sellers.

Under the new regulations, commercial packages valued at $800 or below will no longer qualify for duty-free treatment under the de minimis rule. Cross-border sellers will now be required to pay either ad valorem duties or flat-rate tariffs for each item.

For goods shipped via the international postal system, cross-border sellers will face flat-rate tariffs ranging from $80 to $200, depending on the IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) tariff rate of the product's country of origin.

This policy adjustment means that fulfillment costs for cross-border sellers will increase significantly, particularly impacting e-commerce businesses specializing in low-cost goods.

The elimination of the U.S. de minimis tariff exemption forces cross-border sellers to reassess their pricing strategies and logistics approaches, likely squeezing profit margins in the cross-border e-commerce industry.
