President Trump Keeps De Minimis Suspension for All Countries

Updated February 24, 2026:

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reminded the trade, that pursuant to the February 20 presidential proclamation, Imposing a Temporary Import Surcharge to Address Fundamental International Payment Problems, effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. ET on February 24, 2026, all goods entering the U.S. regardless of country of origin are subject to an additional 10% import surcharge, unless specifically exempt. See CSMS# 67845486 - Continuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment For All Countries

Additionally, pursuant to the Executive Order, Continuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries, issued on the same day, all goods entering the United States regardless of country of origin remain ineligible for the administrative exemption from duty and certain tax at 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C) (“de minimis treatment”), unless they are goods covered by the exception at 50 U.S.C. 1702(b), i.e., certain donations, information/informational materials, and accompanied baggage for personal use, CBP said.

“The processes currently in place to file entry and collect duties on shipments that previously qualified for de minimis treatment, including those entering through international mail, will remain in place,” CBP said. Other than shipments sent through the international postal network that are subject to section 3 of Executive Order 14324, as amended by the Executive Order of February 20, 2026, all shipments that would have qualified for de minimis treatment prior to Executive Order 14324 must be filed as an appropriate entry type in ACE, the agency added.

International mail shipments will continue to follow the processes detailed in CSMS # 66311990 - UPDATED GUIDANCE: Payment of Duty on International Mail Shipments pursuant to Executive Order 14324 “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries”. Carriers or qualified parties acting on their behalf will continue to collect and remit duties on international mail shipments using the processes currently in place.

President Trump, on the evening of Friday, February 20, 2026, issued an Executive Order for continuing the de minimis suspension for all countries in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down the use of IEEPA tariffs.

The modifications to Executive Order 14324 in this order shall be effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. ET on February 24, 2026. Additionally, the HTS shall be modified as provided in the Annex to this order.

Another Executive Order was also issued by the president invoking his authority under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The Proclamation imposes, for a period of 150 days, a 10% ad valorem import duty on articles imported into the U.S. The temporary import duty will take effect February 24, 2026, at 12:01 a.m. ET.

See this fact sheet for additional details regarding imports not impacted by the Executive Order for the Section 122 tariffs.

The Executive Order does not affect any other duties, including duties imposed under Section 232 and Section 301.
