The Executive Order “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries” ends the previous duty-free import regime for goods with a value of up to USD 800 – the so-called de minimis limit – for all countries worldwide.
This also entails numerous procedural changes and provisions for the postal dispatch of goods.
As of 25 August 2025, we will therefore no longer accept business customer parcels for shipping to the USA.
Until new processes are set up, we are unfortunately forced to take this step. This applies to shipments to the USA as well as the US customs territory of Puerto Rico.
Consignments that do reach us will be returned.
