U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced proposed updates to the rules for entering low-value shipments, published in the Federal Register. These changes could significantly impact how shipments are processed, so it’s important to review them closely.

The document proposes amendments to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations pertaining to the entry of certain low-value shipments not exceeding $800 that are eligible for an administrative exemption from duty and tax. Specifically, CBP proposes to create a new process for entering low-value shipments, allowing CBP to target high-risk shipments more effectively.

If you’d like to share your thoughts, comments can be submitted through the Federal eRuling Portal. The deadline to provide feedback is March 17, 2025.
