AmericaLow-value shipment entry proposal: comment by December 7
CBP proposes changing informal-entry filing requirements for goods valued at $2,500 or less, creating an electronic mail-entry type, and making related data and bonding changes. The comment date is December 7, 2026. The proposal is not a statement that these changes are already in force.
Record essentials
Read the entry route, not only the dollar figure
The proposal discusses informal entries and the mail environment. Read its actual scope and existing rules before equating the $2,500 discussion with a duty exemption or a universal treatment for all packages.
Bring a checkable operational example
A useful response can identify the entry process, the proposed data requirement, a verifiable burden or benefit, and a workable alternative. Explain the evidence without disclosing customer identities or confidential shipment information.
