Pursuant to Executive Order 14324 of July 30, 2025, “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries,” effective August 29, 2025, de minimis duty-free treatment under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C) will no longer be available for shipments entering into the United States not covered by 50 U.S.C. § 1702(b), including those entering through international mail.
As outlined in the Executive Order, duty on international mail shipments must be paid by the international mail carrier or a qualified party acting in lieu of the carrier. CBP has certified the following parties as qualified to collect and pay duty on international mail, using the process outlined in CSMS #65934463.
CBP will be posting the list of qualified parties to the CBP website and updating it as additional parties are certified at: https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/e-commerce. We advise that interested parties always check the CBP.gov website for the most current list of approved qualified parties.
Any party wishing to be certified as a qualified party should follow the process outlined in this guidance which includes submitting a CBP Form 5106 to CBP, obtaining a bond, and other requirements. If a party already has a CBP Form 5106 on file and an active bond, and wishes to be qualified, please email CBP at CBPDM@cbp.dhs.gov. Only parties listed via CSMS message or on CBP.gov are considered qualified third parties under Executive Order 14324.
