CBP is currently implementing programming updates that suggest potential changes to de minimis regulations based on the country of origin. Importers should remain flexible and prepared to adapt to any upcoming changes. Given the sudden and unexpected changes that have taken place this year regarding IEEPA tariffs and steel and aluminum derivatives, we want to ensure importers are well-prepared for any upcoming developments.
For reference, the CSMS message regarding these updates can be accessed here: CSMS Message #64445407
While there has been no official announcement or effective date for these changes to the de minimis program, comments on the two Notice of Proposed Rulemakings were due this week. We will continue to monitor this closely and provide updates as they become available
