What Is a De Minimis Threshold?
The minimum value below which imported goods are exempt from duties.
Every country sets a de minimis value — a threshold below which imported goods are exempt from customs duties.
For forwarders, knowing de minimis thresholds is critical for quoting.
Important: de minimis applies to the customs value, not the shipping cost.
