The logistics landscape is evolving rapidly, and recent announcements from the Biden-Harris administration signal significant changes on the horizon for businesses that rely on international shipping. The administration’s proposed rulemaking aims to limit the types of goods that can benefit from the de minimis exemption while enhancing information collection for shipments. These changes could have implications for UK companies looking to ship goods to the United States, but Liberty Express Ltd is here to help navigate these new waters.
Understanding the Proposed Changes
The de minimis exemption allows for the import of goods valued at $800 or less without incurring duties or tariffs. However, the Biden-Harris administration plans to exclude certain import-sensitive products, particularly textiles and apparel, from this exemption. Additionally, businesses may need to provide more detailed information at the time of entry, including tariff classification numbers and Certificates of Compliance.
While these changes aim to enhance security and compliance in international trade, they also introduce complexities that UK companies must address. With tighter regulations on what can be shipped and increased data requirements, businesses may face challenges in ensuring their shipments meet the new standards.
