CBP Issues Guidance for Carriers Transporting International Mail Shipments
Aug 19, 2025
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued additional guidance related to international mail shipments being transported into the country after the U.S. government announced earlier this summer that they would be suspending duty-free De Minimis treatment for all countries:
Pursuant to the EO 14324 of July 30, 2025, (“Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries”), effective August 29, 2025, de minimis duty-free treatment under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C) will no longer be available for shipments entering into the United States not covered by 50 U.S.C. § 1702(b), including those entering through international mail.
CBP has provided a guidance document and worksheet (see links below) that provide detailed instructions for transportation carriers and qualified parties on how to comply with the requirements for international mail.
Any questions regarding this guidance can be sent to: CBPDM@cbp.dhs.gov.
