Pursuant to the Executive Order (EO) “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries,” issued on July 30, 2025, goods of all countries entering the United States will no longer be eligible for the administrative exemption from duty and certain tax at 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C) effective 12:01a.m. on August 29, 2025. Accordingly, all goods not identified in 50 U.S.C. 1702(b) may not receive so-called “de minimis” clearance to enter duty and tax free regardless of their value, country of origin, mode of transportation, or method of entry.
As of August 29, 2025, requests for de minimis entry and clearance for ineligible shipments will be rejected. Specifically, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will enact the following changes in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE):
ACE will reject all Section 321 manifest filings submitted via electronic data interchange (EDI)
CBP will remove the option to file Section 321 manifests in the Truck Manifest Trade Portal
ACE will reject all entry type 86 cargo release EDI transactions
Updates to the applicable manifest and cargo release implementation guides are forthcoming and will be available on CBP’s ACE CATAIR webpage.
Beginning on August 29, filers will be required to submit an appropriate formal or informal entry type filed in ACE, except for shipments sent through the international postal network, along with payment of all applicable duties, taxes, and fees. Paper informal entries for goods subject to this EO are not permitted. Read More→
