To our American Friends:
This memo provides important information on the July 30th executive order by President Trump, suspending the de minimis exemption for all low-value (under $800 USD) shipments to the United States, effective August 29, 2025. Additionally, on July 31, President Trump signed an executive order to increase the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariff on Canada from 25% to 35%, with the higher tariff in effect on August 1, 2025.
What's changing:
- All U.S. imports, regardless of their value, country of origin, mode of entry, or how they are routed into the country, will now be subject to applicable U.S. duties and taxes when shipped via non-postal networks. This might lead to additional shipping costs and clearance requirements.
- Effective August 1, 2025, all goods that do not qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico (CUSMA) trade agreement are subject to the IEEPA Canada tariffs, at a new higher rate of 35%. Goods that qualify as originating under CUSMA are not subject to the higher tariff.
- CUSMA trade agreement duty rates and exemptions continue to apply to applicable goods however to qualify, imports must be accompanied by a certification of origin that includes the nine key elements required by CUSMA (set out in Annex 5-A of the Origin Procedures Chapter 5 of the CUSMA) regardless of the value of the goods. U.S. Customs Border Protection (CBP) will also now require an informal entry for these goods.
UPS Process and Fee Changes
- To ensure smooth service and efficient border clearance, as of August 29, UPS will act as the Customs Broker for all shipments valued below $800 USD, destined for the U.S.
- Effective August 29, non-CUSMA certified shipments will be subject to U.S. government duty fees and UPS Customs Brokerage fees. The Customs Brokerage fees for non–CUSMA goods sent by UPS Standard® to the U.S., will be applied as follows:
- Entry preparation fees:
- Shipments valued between $1 - $200 USD: $10 USD per shipment
- Shipments valued between $200 - $800 USD: $20 USD per shipment
- Disbursement fee: 2% of the duties and taxes advanced. Minimum fee of $14 USD.
- CUSMA certified shipments will receive the government’s most favored duty rate. The UPS Customs Brokerage entry preparation fees listed above will apply.
- UPS recommends sending international shipments using the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) method to help avoid potential delivery delays, customer refusal, or returns due to unexpected fees.
- Effective September 8, 2025, all shipments sent by UPS Air Services to the U.S.* will incur an International Processing Fee of $3.50 CAD.
