De minimis and tariff FAQ

Is the US de minimis exemption still $800?

No. The $800 Section 321 de minimis exemption has been suspended for shipments from every country since August 29, 2025 (and for China and Hong Kong since May 2, 2025). CBP regulations made the suspension indefinite in 2026, and the statutory repeal takes effect July 1, 2027. Imports of any value owe the applicable duties.

Do small packages sent by mail pay duty now?

Yes. Since July 24, 2026, postal shipments go through a new informal entry process and pay all applicable duties. From October 22, 2026, postal items subject to Chapter 98 or 99 duties, trade-agreement claims or partner-agency rules must use entry type 13 or a formal entry.

Are the IEEPA “reciprocal” tariffs still collected?

No. The Supreme Court ruled on February 20, 2026 that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, and CBP stopped collecting IEEPA duties on February 24, 2026. A 10% Section 122 surcharge followed and expired on July 23, 2026. Other tariff actions under Sections 301, 232 and 338 remain.

What additional tariffs can apply to imports?

Section 301 duties on many products of China (7.5% to 100%), a Section 301 action from July 24, 2026 covering 60 trading partners (generally 10% to 12.5%), Section 232 duties on steel, aluminum, copper, vehicles, parts and other products, and country-specific actions such as Brazil and certain Canadian goods. They are listed in Chapter 99 of the tariff schedule.

How do I calculate the total duty?

Start with the HTS general rate times the customs value, then add each applicable Chapter 99 duty and customs fees. How duties stack, caps and exclusions depend on the product and origin, so treat this checker as a checklist and confirm the total with a licensed customs broker.

What fees does CBP charge on imports?

The merchandise processing fee is 0.3464% of value on formal entries (minimum $34.58, maximum $670.86 for fiscal 2027) and a flat $2.77 to $12.45 on informal entries. Ocean shipments also pay a 0.125% harbor maintenance fee.
