  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 3048
    Reading Time:about 118 minutes

    The document is a proposed rule by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of the Treasury, which seeks to amend the regulations for low-value shipments valued at $800 or less. CBP aims to create a new process for these shipments to better target high-risk consignments, including those possibly containing illicit substances like fentanyl. This new "enhanced entry process" involves electronic data submission for a more efficient screening and clearance, while also offering a modified version of the current "release from manifest" process, now called the "basic entry process." Comments on the proposed changes are invited from the public until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    CBP wants to change the rules for little packages worth $800 or less so they can find bad stuff like dangerous drugs easier. They're asking people what they think about these changes before they decide.

  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 6852
    Reading Time:about 95 minutes

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is proposing changes to the regulations for low-value shipments, where the retail value does not exceed $800. Merchandise affected by specific trade or national security measures would no longer be eligible for an administrative exemption from duties and taxes. This proposal aims to protect U.S. revenue and ensure compliance with trade laws. Public comments are requested before March 24, 2025, and additional details can be submitted through the Federal eRulemaking Portal.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine the U.S. is changing some rules that say if something is sent from another country and costs less than $800, you don't have to pay extra money to get it. But now, if the item is special and relates to big, important rules or safety, you might have to pay a bit more to make sure everyone is following the law and staying safe.
