As of August 29, 2025, the U.S. “de minimis” duty-free threshold has been revoked.
This means shipments that were previously duty-free under USD 800 may now be subject to duties, taxes, and fees.
-
DHL Shipments:
The USD 800 duty-free treatment has ended, and shipments may be assessed duties regardless of value. -
Japan Post (EMS) & Sea (SEA shipment):
Acceptance for U.S.-bound parcels is currently suspended.
From now on, all shipments to the United States may incur charges at the time of customs clearance.
Please note that it is not possible to investigate or determine such costs in advance.
