CBP Indefinitely Suspends De Minimis Exemption for Most Imports Valued Under $800

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced an indefinite suspension of the de minimis administrative exemption for imports valued at $800 or less, specifically for merchandise arriving through all modes other than the international postal network. This interim final rule, effective June 24, 2026, mandates that all such low-value entries must now undergo formal or informal entry procedures. The move aims to address the exponential increase in de minimis packages, attempted unlawful importations, and significant uncollected duties.
