Sep 28, 2024

On September 13, the Biden-Harris administration announced new actions to address “significant increased abuse” in the use of the de minimis import exemption. The de minimis import exemption allows low-value shipments (i.e., shipments valued at $800 or less in the aggregate to one person on one day) to enter the United States duty free and through a streamlined entry process that requires minimal data. The administration urged Congress to take action to exclude all textile and apparel shipments from the de minimis exemption and to further codify the proposed agency actions.
