US Customs and Duty Threshold
The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) enforces a $800 de minimis threshold for personal shipments. This means most individual packages valued under $800 enter duty-free without formal customs entry requirements.
The threshold applies per shipment, not per calendar day. However, CBP may flag multiple similar packages arriving from the same sender simultaneously. For high-value orders over $800, duties typically range from 0-20% depending on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule category.
Regional Delivery Considerations
East Coast (NY, NJ, PA, FL)
Packages enter through JFK or Miami customs. EMS typically delivers in 7-10 days. DHL delivers in 3-5 days. Major metro areas see fastest last-mile delivery.
West Coast (CA, WA, OR)
LAX and SFO are major entry points. West Coast deliveries sometimes arrive 1-2 days faster from Asian routes. Rural areas in the Pacific Northwest may add 2-3 days.
Midwest (IL, OH, MI)
ORD (Chicago) is a major distribution hub. Midwest addresses benefit from strong USPS infrastructure. Average delivery times match national norms.
South (TX, GA, NC)
DFW and ATL hubs handle significant volume. Texas addresses occasionally see slightly longer transit from West Coast entry. Overall reliable across all carriers.
