Importers will soon need to provide more detailed information on U.S.-bound mail shipments under new rules issued by Customs and Border Protection, likely leading to more duties collected on postal imports.
The agency on Wednesday published an interim final rule that requires additional data for mail imports valued at $2,500 or less that go through CBP’s more streamlined informal entry process. The new requirements include a description of the merchandise, all 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes, and the quantity and weight if they affect applicable duties. The information must be sent by the seventh day of the month following the package’s arrival.
