⚠️ De Minimis Exemption Ended (Non-Postal Jun 24 / Postal Jul 24, 2026): $800 Threshold Removed
Section 321 duty-free treatment has been suspended for all countries since August 29, 2025, and CBP wrote the suspension into regulation on June 24, 2026 (Federal Register 91 FR 37801; postal rules effective July 24, 2026). Entry Type 86 is retired: low-value shipments now clear through informal entry (Type 11, up to $2,500), formal entry (Type 01, above $2,500) or the new Entry Type 13 mail test that began September 22, 2026, and every entry pays duty on the full value.

CBP IOR Verification Began Sep 18, 2026 — Inaccurate Records Void Your Importer Number
Under Executive Order 14411 ("Strengthening Customs Enforcement"), CBP started enhanced verification of Importer of Record (IOR) data on CBP Form 5106 on September 18, 2026. From that date CBP may immediately void an IOR number whose information is inaccurate or incomplete — and a voided number cannot be used to enter merchandise into the United States, so the shipment stops at the port until it is reinstated.
- Physical address must be the importer's own place of business. Registered-agent, customs-broker and freight-forwarder addresses, P.O. boxes and business service centers are not accepted.
- Email and phone number must belong to the importer itself; a broker or third party may not substitute its own.
- The customs broker must hold a power of attorney executed directly with the importer, not through an intermediary.
- Voided numbers are reinstated only on written request to
IORProgram@cbp.dhs.gov(subject line "Enforcing IOR Accuracy"); clearance delays are likely in the meantime.

178 China Section 301 Product Exclusions Expire 11:59 p.m. ET on November 9, 2026
USTR's current extension covers 178 product descriptions — 164 under HTSUS heading 9903.88.69 and 14 for certain solar-manufacturing equipment under 9903.88.70 — and by its own terms applies only to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 9, 2026. From the next entry, the covered goods return to the Section 301 list duty that applies to their classification.
- The entry date controls, not the ship date. Cargo that leaves China in late October but is released after November 9 does not get the exclusion, and the notice gives no grace period. A bonded warehouse does not preserve it either: the withdrawal-for-consumption date governs (19 CFR 141.68).
- An exclusion lifts only the list duty it names. Since 12:01 a.m. ET on July 24, 2026, most products of China also pay a separate 12.5% forced-labor Section 301 duty, which these exclusions do not cover — and in the same action USTR declined to open any product-exclusion process for it, so there is nothing to apply for on that layer.
- Check the description, not just the code. An exclusion is defined by the product description written into the Chapter 99 U.S. notes (material, dimension, use), so matching a 10-digit HTS number alone is not enough. To find out whether you rely on an exclusion today, ask your broker for the entries filed under
9903.88.69or9903.88.70over the last 12 months.
Status as of November 8, 2026: no extension has been published in the Federal Register, and USTR has no item pending in its public-inspection queue. Expiring at the same moment is the separate suspension of Section 301 port fees on Chinese-built and Chinese-operated vessels; USTR proposed a two-month further suspension through January 9, 2027 and the comment period closed October 30, 2026 — a proposal is not yet a rule. Sources: 90 FR 55232 (the extension and its end date), 91 FR 47318 (12.5% forced-labor action; no exclusion process), 91 FR 67388 (maritime proposal). Not legal or customs advice; classification and entry remain your broker's responsibility.
Note: Section 301 tariffs apply to China only. Other countries pay MFN + country-level surcharge only.
