DutyPlus was built for this moment.

On July 30, 2025, the White House announced the global suspension of the de minimis exemption, a long-standing policy that allowed duty-free import of goods under $800.

Starting August 29, every commercial shipment—regardless of value or origin—must comply with full duty and tax regulations.

For e-commerce platforms, logistics providers, and marketplaces, this marks a significant shift in how international trade is conducted.

What’s Changing — And Why It Matters

For years, the $800 de minimis threshold enabled low-value imports to bypass duties and taxes, allowing for rapid cross-border shipping. This fueled the growth of platforms like Temu, Shein, and countless small to mid-sized businesses.

That model ends in August.

Key Implications:

• Duty-free thresholds under $800 will no longer apply
  
  
• All shipments must undergo customs declarations and tax assessments
  
  
• Non-compliant shipments face increased delays, penalties, and failed deliveries
  
  

This regulatory change requires immediate action from all cross-border operators.

DutyPlus Is Built for Compliance — Without the Complexity

While the industry scrambles to adjust, DutyPlus clients are already compliant. Our DutyPlus solution offers a hybrid model that combines the control of DDP with the flexibility of post-purchase payment.

DutyPlus streamlines the user experience by moving tax and duty collection outside the checkout process. Instead of adding complexity at checkout, customers receive a branded payment page via SMS or email after purchase, allowing them to pre-pay duties and taxes before delivery while the parcel is in transit. 

No Integration Required

Don’t have an API? No problem.
Just upload an Excel or manifest file. We’ll handle the rest.

• Automated customs classification and duty calculation
  
  
• Branded SMS or email payment links to recipients
  
  
• Seamless DDU and DDP support
  
  
• Full compliance, tracking, and reporting
  
  

What Makes DutyPlus Different

DutyPlus goes beyond standard DDP solutions. We’ve built capabilities others don’t offer—designed specifically for a post–de minimis world.

Hybrid DDP Model: A Market-First Solution

While most providers limit you to either DDU or DDP, DutyPlus supports a hybrid model that bridges the gap.

• Works for merchants and carriers operating under DDU terms
  
  
• Allows customers to prepay duties and taxes before delivery post-checkout while parcel is in transit
  
  
• Creates a DDP-like experience without modifying existing carrier contracts
  
  
• Reduces customs clearance delays, failed payments, and delivery failures
  
  

This feature allows platforms, 3PLs, and marketplaces to offer a premium user experience—without reengineering their logistics operations.
