Avoid the 2025
De Minimis Shock!
Is the End of the De Minimis Exemption Crippling Your Margins?
Starting May 2, 2025, the U.S. government has eliminated the $800 duty-free exemption for most shipments from China and Hong Kong. This change could mean per-item fees as high as $200 or customs duties based on item value—especially for ecommerce sellers importing small parcels direct to U.S. customers.
If you’re drop-shipping, sourcing from China, or relying on low-cost international fulfillment, your costs are about to spike—and your shipping timelines could drag.
What the 2025 De Minimis Policy
Change Means for You
- No more duty-free imports under $800 from China or Hong Kong
- New data requirements and customs clearance delays
- Rising costs for sellers using Temu, Shein-style shipping models
- Bipartisan U.S. legislation could soon apply these rules to all countries
