The U.S. will end the de minimis exemption for most imports on August 29, 2025, removing duty-free status for goods valued at $800 or less. This change targets e-commerce imports that previously bypassed tariffs and scrutiny, except for postal shipments, which receive temporary alternative duty options. Personal travel purchases up to $200 and gifts under $100 remain exempt.

Key Takeaways

  • De minimis exemption ends August 29

  • $800 threshold for duty-free erased

  • Postal shipments have temporary exceptions
