U.S. De Minimis Elimination
Frontier's cross-border solution helps Canadian e-commerce businesses navigate the elimination of the US $800 de minimis exemption with consolidated customs clearance and strategic warehousing.
Contact UsThe elimination of the U.S. De minimis exemption, effective August 29, 2025 means Canadian businesses can no longer rely on duty and tax-free shipments into the United States. Goods valued at or under $800—previously exempt from duties—will now be subject to applicable U.S. tariffs and inspection requirements like Ad valorem duties based on standard IEEPA tariff rates per country of origin.
This change increases customs clearance costs, creates more compliance risk and can affect delivery speed.
