#14324 -- Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries of July 30, 2025

Executive Order

Highlights

EO#14324 eliminates the duty-free exemption for imported goods from all countries valued at $800 or less effective August 29, 2025.

Key Compliance/Risk Cue

For fast-moving-consumer goods, like many ecommerce goods, USA buyers very likely are the Importers of Record and will be responsible for paying the taxes on the imported goods now that the exemption has been eliminated. Processing times also could be adversely impacted -- i.e., formal customs entries required.

Litigation Snapshot

Detroit Axle v. CIT specially challenges the elimination of the de minimis exemption for goods imported to the USA from China (EO#14256).
