Posted by Sila Barr on 4/21/25 5:00 PM

On April 18, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a bulletin via its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) providing guidance for processing of shipments of goods from China and Hong Kong once such items are no longer eligible for the de minimis exemption. 

The CSMS provides information on procedures and messaging in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for shipments of products of China and Hong Kong that are under $800, specifically for shipments being cleared via manifest or shipments entering the U.S. via international mail. 

The CSMS also indicates products of China or Hong Kong entered using entry type 86 will be rejected. 

According to CBP, a notice will be published in the Federal Register prior to the effective date of May 2, 2025.
