CBP Issues Notice on End of China De Minimis

CBP released a notice on the end of de minimis eligibility for products from China and Hong Kong beginning May 2, as outlined in an executive order issued earlier this month. The notice describes the new system of tariffs on carriers for postal shipments that will take effect on that date, as well as changes to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to implement the changes.

The notice also said CBP is suspending the $250 limit on informal entries for goods in Chapter 99 (an exception to the normal $2,500 informal entry limit) because it would impede the agency's ability to effectuate the end of de minimis eligibility for Chinese goods.
