How to read this

De minimis threshold: the order value below which import duties are reduced or waived. Some countries set a separate, lower cutoff for tax than for duty; this page tracks the duty threshold.

What is not shown: customs duty rates and VAT / GST. Duty varies by the product’s HS code, and consumption tax can vary by province or state, so neither can be given as one number per country.

Status: whether the rule is unchanged, under review, scheduled to change, or already gone

FAQ

What is a de minimis threshold?

It is the order value below which a country reduces or waives import duty, so low-value shipments clear faster and cheaper.

Did the United States end de minimis?

The United States suspended its de minimis exemption in 2025, so duties now apply to low-value imports that previously entered duty-free. Confirm the current position with CBP.

Is the European Union ending de minimis?

The European Union is reforming its rules, with a flat per-item duty starting in 2026 and full removal of the €150 threshold planned by 2028.

Does this include customs duty and VAT rates?

No. This page tracks de minimis thresholds only. Customs duty depends on the product’s HS code, and VAT or GST can vary by province or state, so neither can be stated as a single rate per country. Confirm with the destination authority or your customs broker.
