US Delays Small Import Rules by 90 Days
The US government has delayed new customs requirements for small international mail shipments by 90 days. The move aims to prevent higher prices on imported prescription drugs and other products.
The United States government delayed new customs requirements for small international shipments by 90 days, postponing potential price hikes for imported prescription drugs until January 20, 2027. The deferral avoids a political flashpoint ahead of the November midterm elections, where living costs remain a central debate. The policy targets the de minimis tariff exemption on shipments under $800, which aims to implement broader customs changes by July 2027.
