The old <a href=\"https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/fr\/suppression-progressive-de-la-regle-de-minimis-au-niveau-mondial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">De Minimis rules<\/a> made small shipments relatively straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On July 30, 2025, President Trump signed <strong>Executive Order 14324<\/strong>, titled \u201cSuspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries.\u201d This order officially suspended the duty-free <em>de minimis<\/em> exemption under <strong>19 U.S.C. \u00a7 1321(a)(2)(C)<\/strong>, effective <strong>August 29, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. EDT<\/strong>. The <em>de minimis suspension<\/em> has since been extended through subsequent actions, including <strong>Executive Order 14388<\/strong> issued on February 20, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, nearly all imports into the United States \u2014 regardless of value \u2014 now require formal customs entry, accurate 10-digit HTS classification, and payment of applicable duties, taxes, and fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EU-Tariffs-1024x572.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EU-Tariffs-1024x572.webp 1024w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EU-Tariffs-300x167.webp 300w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EU-Tariffs-768x429.webp 768w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EU-Tariffs-18x10.webp 18w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EU-Tariffs.webp 1376w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide provides practical information on the current requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the Policy Change Means<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exemption that previously allowed shipments valued at $800 or less to enter duty-free and with simplified procedures no longer applies. Most shipments must now use appropriate ACE entry types, provide 10-digit HTS codes, and pay all duties, taxes, and fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For luxury goods shippers, this has increased both costs and the importance of proper compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common HTS Codes and Tariff Examples for Luxury Goods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are examples of frequently used codes (rates are approximate as of 2026; always verify with current HTSUS):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leather handbags<\/strong> (4202.21.9000): Base rate ~9% (for certain valued items). China-origin goods are often subject to additional <strong>Droits de douane au titre de l'article 301<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wrist watches<\/strong> (9102 series, e.g. 9102.11.0000 or similar): Base rates combine specific duty per unit + ad valorem (typically 5\u201315% total). Most China-origin watches carry extra <strong>Section 301 duties<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Imitation jewelry<\/strong> (7117.19.9000): Base rates around 8\u201311%. Additional <strong>Droits de douane au titre de l'article 301<\/strong> commonly apply to Chinese-origin items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel goods \/ outerwear<\/strong> (Chapter 42 or 62): Varies by material, base 0\u201316% + potential <strong>Section 301<\/strong> stacking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important<\/strong>: Section 301 additional tariffs (often 7.5%\u201325%) apply on top of base rates for most China-origin luxury goods. Use the USTR Section 301 tool or consult a licensed broker for the latest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"451\" data-src=\"https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HTS-Codes-Guide-1024x451.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1761 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HTS-Codes-Guide-1024x451.webp 1024w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HTS-Codes-Guide-300x132.webp 300w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HTS-Codes-Guide-768x338.webp 768w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HTS-Codes-Guide-1536x676.webp 1536w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HTS-Codes-Guide-18x8.webp 18w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HTS-Codes-Guide.webp 2000w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/451;\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Compliance Considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond tariffs, importers must meet strict requirements on valuation, brand protection, and documentation. Even under DDP arrangements, the <strong>importer of record<\/strong> (usually the US consignee) bears ultimate legal responsibility for the accuracy of declarations, payment of duties, and compliance with CBP rules, including brand authorization where required. Failure to provide proper valuation proof or authorizations can lead to penalties, holds, or seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vantage Forwarding DDP Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our Delivered Duty Paid service manages pickup in China, HTS classification support, duty handling, professional clearance, and delivery in the US. We focus on secure handling suitable for high-value and sensitive luxury items, helping reduce administrative burden for our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pratique <a href=\"https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/fr\/ressources\/outils\/calculateur-de-couts-datterrissage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Landed Cost Calculation<\/mark><\/a> Steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this straightforward approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Calculate <strong>CIF value<\/strong> = Goods cost + Insurance + Freight to US gateway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine <strong>customs value<\/strong> (CIF + any dutiable assists\/royalties).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply correct <strong>10-digit HTS code<\/strong>: Customs value \u00d7 Base tariff rate = Base duty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add <strong>Section 301<\/strong> (and any other) additional tariffs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include MPF (Merchandise Processing Fee \u22480.3464%), harbor fees, broker charges, and inland delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare DDP total vs. DDU and factor in potential clearance time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend maintaining an Excel template for repeat SKUs. One mid-volume luxury accessories client reported their average per-shipment compliance handling and delay-related costs increased notably after the August 2025 change, leading them to consolidate more volume under DDP routing for better predictability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"689\" height=\"312\" data-src=\"https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/image-13.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1765 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/image-13.png.webp 689w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/image-13-300x136.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/vantageforwarding.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/image-13-18x8.png.webp 18w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 689px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 689\/312;\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;data-src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/vantageforwarding.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/image-13.png&quot;,&quot;data-srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/vantageforwarding.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/image-13.png 689w, https:\\\/\\\/vantageforwarding.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/image-13-300x136.png 300w, https:\\\/\\\/vantageforwarding.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/image-13-18x8.png 18w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review your product classifications against the latest tariff schedule.
