CBP Moves to End the Post-Arrival Filing Window for Low-Value Shipments

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has proposed requiring importers of goods valued at $2,500 or less to file entry electronically on or before the day a shipment arrives, ending the current 15-day post-arrival filing window for informal entries and extending a new process to merchandise arriving by mail.

The notice of proposed rulemaking was published Oct. 8 in the Federal Register under the title “Low-Value Shipments” and would establish a new electronic informal entry type—entry type 13—for merchandise entering through U.S. borders via an international postal network, according to CBP.

Low-value shipments that arrive as cargo will continue to be designated as entry type 11 filings, which represent general informal entry for merchandise valued at $2,500 or less.

Comments on the proposal are due on or before Dec. 7, 2026.

Informal entry type 11 accounted for 52,450,418 entries between Sept. 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026, while postal entries totaled 24,427,685 over the same period, according to figures CBP published in the proposed rule.

The agency framed the proposal in the rulemaking as a response to enforcement problems that grew alongside the volume of low-value shipments, which surged after the de minimis threshold rose to $800 in 2016. The threshold was suspended for all countries Aug. 29, 2025 via executive order, with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act terminating the exemption effective July 1, 2027.
