On April 2, 2025, the White House issued an executive order and fact sheet announcing the end of de minimis eligibility for shipments from China and Hong Kong.
Imported goods valued under $800 will require a U.S. Customs entry to be submitted and will be subject to all applicable duties, including duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, starting May 2, 2025.
Postal shipments valued under $800 will be subject to a 30% duty rate or $25 per item, which will increase to $50 per item after June 1, 2025. U.S. Customs and Border Protection may also require formal customs entries for postal packages.
The U.S. Commerce Department is also directed to submit a report within 90 days to review the impact of the executive order, as well as to determine if goods from Macau should be excluded from de minimis eligibility.
If you have further questions, please reach out to your C.H. Robinson representative and watch for further advisories.
