U.S. De Minimis Threshold Removal 2025: Impact on E-Commerce Shipping, Duties & Customs Clearance
In line with the U.S De Minimis Threshold Removal, we wanted to provide an update on the current situation regarding shipments to the United States.
As many businesses will be aware, the international postal network has temporarily stopped handling parcels (including printed matter over 500g, or goods of any weight and value) while it adapts to the new US import requirements.
So, What’s Changed?
Printed Matter
We now have a solution in place: shipments will be direct-injected into USPS. While this service will initially take longer than customers may be used to, we expect transit times to improve as volumes increase.
Further details include:
*Printed matter only
*Peak Surcharges may apply and will be passed over on the same terms
*We reserve the right to change the rates at any time to reflect cost or FX changes
*There are no returns on this service. USPS recycle/destroy any undeliverables
*No compensation for lost, damaged, on undeliverable mail items

Delivery Aims
Please allow 3-5 working days for injection into USPS, plus the USPS delivery aim below (2-9 working days). Remote areas and islands may take longer.
The delivery aims are an indication displayed in working days from the day dispatched from our premises. Please note that public holidays, weather disruptions, customs, peak season, carrier network delays or any unforeseen events can affect the delivery aim.
