FRContinuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries
President Donald Trump’s executive order continues the suspension of the duty-free “de minimis” exemption for low-value imports from all countries, including packages sent through the international postal system. It revises an earlier order to require that most of these shipments pay applicable duties, taxes, fees, and charges, and it directs Customs and Border Protection to collect those charges using updated procedures. For postal shipments, the order sets a temporary duty tied to the import surcharge established on February 20, 2026, and requires carriers or other approved parties to collect and send those payments to CBP. The order says it was issued because the administration determined that systems are now in place to collect these duties and that keeping the suspension in place remains necessary to address the national emergencies identified in earlier Trump orders.
