US Customs Updates Impact Shipment Processing
New US customs regulations are set to take effect on April 5, 2025, lowering the threshold for formal entry processing for shipments entering the United States. Effective on this date, all shipments to the U.S. with a declared customs value exceeding USD 800 will necessitate formal entry processing. This marks a decrease from the previous USD 2,500 threshold.
Increased Formal Customs Clearances
This regulatory adjustment has triggered a significant rise in the volume of formal customs clearances. Operations are ongoing around the clock to manage this surge in processing requirements.
Potential Shipment Delays
While every effort is being made to scale up operations and effectively handle this increased demand, shipments valued over USD 800, regardless of their origin, may be subject to multi-day delays.
