Many countries set a low-value threshold under which imports clear with reduced or no duty and tax. It affects whether small or sample shipments carry import charges.
Why it matters for sourcing
- It can change the landed cost of small or sample orders.
- Thresholds differ widely by destination country.
- Rules change — some markets have tightened or removed low-value relief.
Do not treat any single number as fixed. Confirm the current de minimis threshold and rules with your destination's official customs authority before relying on it.
