De Minimis Threshold
Previously, U.S. customs regulations allowed individuals and businesses to import goods valued up to $800 per day without paying duties or taxes. This limit was known as the de minimis threshold.
As pr. 29th of August 2025 the US Administration has suspended the De Minimis Threshold globally.
This means that all imported products are subject to duties. The exact duty level pr. product depends on:
- Country of origin
- MFN tariff (normal tax rate when importing to US)
- Preferential trade agreement with the specific country
EU - US
EU and US has made a Preferential Trade Agreement. This agreement states, that products with origin EU are subject to 15% customs duty when imported into US.
The MFN tariff (normal customs rate based on the tariff number) will not be added on top of the duty. If there is a MFN tariff higher than 15%, the MFN tariff applies instead of 15%. But never on top.
China – US
China and US has not made a Preferential Trade Agreements as EU and US.
Until 10th of November 2025 products with Origin China are subject to 47% customs duty when imported into US.
If MFN tariff applies for the products (normal customs rate based on the tariff number) this will be added on top of the duty.
Indonesia – US
Indonesia and US has made a Preferential Trade Agreement as EU and US.
This agreement states, that products with origin Indonesia are subject to 19% customs duty when imported into US.
If MFN tariff applies for the products (normal customs rate based on the tariff number) this will be added on top of the duty.
