If "de minimis" were to be cancelled, it would indeed have a significant impact on cross-border trade in America. It will directly impact cross border seller competitiveness, profitability, and ability to serve USA markets effectively. Instead they should think to lower the cap from $800 to $ 500. The Global Times reported, that "so far in 2023, the US imported 395 million packages that benefited from the de minimis rule, accounting for 76.54 percent of total package imports, according to statistics released by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on May 12". According to another CBP report, packages from China accounted for about 60% of its imported de minimis shipment in 2021.(https://lnkd.in/grYw7YQZ) Managing every single package is nearly impossible given the sheer magnitude of these numbers, which is why the threshold was initially raised. However, this decision has proven to be counterproductive, as per the accounts of numerous U.S. politicians.

Compliance in international and domestic trade is crucial. The Type 86 Pilot Program brought many freight forwarders success in the 321 import de minimis arena, but CBP is now tightening regulations. Recent changes under the program effective February 15, 2024, are particularly noteworthy amidst the surge of cross-border and air cargo e-commerce. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) outlined these changes in a Federal Register Notice from January 16, 2024 (89 FR 2630). Stay informed about the impact of these adjustments: [Link to the Federal Register Notice] #TradeCompliance #CBP #FreightForwarders #DeMinimis #CustomsRegulations #e-commerce #aircargo

Online merchants selling to US customers, as well as their customs brokers, got an unexpected reprieve last month from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which postponed a mandate for advance submission of shipment data. On 13 April, the CBP was poised to implement a mandate for advance submission of data for Section 321 Type 86 shipments that fall under the de minimis exemption on duties. However, shortly before the new regime was set to kick in, CBP postponed the implementation date, and has not yet given a new implementation date. But a squeeze is still looming, notably for Chinese sellers.... Several bills are before Congress, which are taking aim at shipments below the de minimis threshold of $800 for US consumers. Ian Putzger reports the details of the postponement. #deminimis #imports #americanimports https://lnkd.in/ei5jWK9v

I started my career in import/export, met David Strom at my next stop, and await eagerly each issue of his Web Informant blog. He again brings us a glimpse into an unexpected topic: US Customs and Border Protection and new emphasis on ensuring small packages entering the country via airfreight are compliant with US customs law. Interesting to consider that consolidated maritime shipments could actually become more of the norm - and potentially as expensive or more expensive downstream to the customer as airfreight.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has suspended multiple brokers from an expedited clearance program for duty-free imports, including packages from China-linked companies like Shein and Temu. The crackdown is due to concerns about contraband being brought into the country through this process, leading to delays and bottlenecks in delivery. More than 1 billion packages, averaging $50 in value, are expected to arrive in the U.S. this year, driven by consumer demand for fast-fashion made in Chinese factories. The move is part of a broader CBP effort that includes increased inspections of packages at U.S. airports and reviews of electronic information submissions by customs brokers. The action is seen as a response to political pressure on the Biden administration to protect U.S. businesses and address concerns about illegal drugs entering the country. SEKO Logistics, one of the affected brokers, filed a lawsuit against CBP for failing to provide proper notice of the suspension and specify alleged violations. #shein #temu #fashfashion #ecommerce

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced recently they will now be inspecting every e-commerce shipment from mainland China, leading to significant delays and congestion at major airports like LAX & ORD. With estimates of 100 freighters a day carrying e-commerce into the US, perhaps 100 tons on each – there is a significant amount of cargo to check. Sources report that flights from e-commerce giants are being fully inspected, uncovering illegal items including fentanyl, drug-making equipment, and mis-declarations of value to meet the de minimis threshold. Key Points: - Freighters from mainland China are subject to a full inspection. - Massive backlogs at customs warehouses are slowing down e-commerce. - Some planned high-frequency flights to major hubs like Chicago and New York are on hold. - The air cargo industry is experiencing heightened nervousness, with some Chinese carriers halting flights to ensure compliance. Industry Impact: - Forwarders confirm that documentation and cargo descriptions are under intense scrutiny. - Concerns over continued delays as CBP remains vigilant against illegal drug imports. The Airforwarders Association highlights the urgent need for alternative solutions to prevent further disruptions. This situation underscores the delicate balance between security and efficient logistics in global trade.

Wills Bisham Deena US Customs Brokers Face Heightened Scrutiny Amid Surge in E-commerce Shipments Compliance experts are warning that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is intensifying its scrutiny of customs brokers as the agency grapples with a growing influx of e-commerce shipments. These shipments typically require less comprehensive data compared to larger freight, adding complexity to the brokers’ responsibilities. The CBP is also increasing pressure on brokers to assist importers in closely monitoring their upstream supplier networks. This move is part of the agency’s efforts to combat issues such as forced labor, intellectual property violations, and environmental infractions. #CustomsBrokers #CBP #Ecommerce #TradeCompliance #SupplyChain #DeMinimis #ImportRegulations #ForcedLabor #IntellectualProperty #Type86 #ComplianceRisk #Importers #CustomsRegulations #TradeOversight #ShippingIndustry #BrokersRole #TradeCommunity #ImportStandards #CustomsScrutiny #RegulatoryCompliance https://lnkd.in/epUMV2bt
