Executive Order 14324: Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries

In response to persistent national security and public health threats—including the trafficking of illicit drugs—Executive Order 14324 suspends duty-free de minimis import privileges globally. The order targets shipments from Canada, Mexico, China, and other nations, citing abuse of low-value shipping to evade tariffs and law enforcement. Starting August 29, 2025, all non-postal shipments previously exempt will face full duties and oversight. This sweeping trade action signals a hardening stance on cross-border enforcement and supply chain scrutiny.
