U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is set to enhance data collection for low-cost imports, aiming to better target high-risk items exploiting the de minimis exemption, which allows shipments under $800 to bypass duties. The proposed “enhanced entry process” will streamline data requirements and improve shipment tracking, helping CBP focus on identifying illicit goods. Comments on the rule change are due by March 17, with additional reforms expected soon as part of broader efforts to address de minimis abuse and modernize trade practices.
