Overview of the changes: End of de minimis (Thailand-U.S.) From August 29, 2025, the U.S. will eliminate the duty-free exemption for all goods, regardless of value, shipped to the U.S. for national security reasons and to prevent the shipment of illegal goods (e.g., narcotics, counterfeit goods, etc.). Previously, de minimis allowed packages valued at less than $800 to enter the country without duty and without complex customs procedures. After this change, even inexpensive packages will be subject to full duties and detailed customs processing. How are express shipping companies, FedEx and DHL, adapting?
