EO 14324: Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries
July 30, 2025 — Details ⮟
- Overview: Directs that the duty-free de minimis exemption provided under 19 USC 1321(a)(2)(C) will no longer apply to any shipment of goods not covered by 50 USC 1702(b) (includes items such as communications, donations, informational materials, and personal baggage), regardless of value, country of origin, mode of transportation, or method of entry.
Transportation carriers delivering shipments to the U.S. through the international postal network, or other parties if qualified in lieu of said transportation carriers, must collect and remit the tariff duties. The duties imposed can either be:- An ad valorum duty: A duty equal to the effective IEEPA tariff rate applicable to the country of origin of the product.
- A specific duty: A duty based on the effective IEEPA tariff rate applicable to the country of origin of the product as follows:
- Countries with an effective IEEPA tariff rate of less than 16 percent: $80 per item.
- Countries with an effective IEEPA tariff rate between 16 and 25 percent (inclusive): $160 per item.
- Countries with an effective IEEPA rate above 25 percent: $200 per item.
Each transportation carrier must apply the same methodology across all covered shipments during any given period but may change its methodology no more than once per calendar month, or on another schedule determined to be appropriate by CBP, upon providing at least 24 hours’ notice to CBP. Additionally, for all international postal shipments subject to the aforementioned tariffs, the country of origin of the article must be declared to CBP.
The specific duty methodology described above will only be an option for transportation carriers to select for six months following the effective date of this EO. Following that time frame, all shipments to the U.S. through the international postal network must comply with the ad valorem duty methodology.
The aforementioned tariffs will be effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 29, 2025. The EO further states that it supersedes EO 14256 (as amended) entitled, “Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People's Republic of China as Applied to Low-Value Imports.” Directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to take necessary actions to implement and effectuate this EO.
