Will De Minimis Come Back? Use Verified Entry-Date Rules

A policy forecast is not a usable customs rule. Budget with the verified rules for the actual entry date.

Use effective rules instead of forecasts

The rules verified for this calculator on October 2, 2026 retain the suspension of the $800 exemption. Product exemptions and postal MPF exemptions remain relevant. A news report, proposal or court filing cannot establish a future parcel's charge without its effective implementing rule.

IEEPA duties and de minimis are separate questions

IEEPA duty collection ended February 24, 2026. That fact alone does not supply a restored $800 parcel exemption or cancel separately authorized Section 301 duties. Use the current postal framework and the actual product and origin rules.

Future dates need another check

This calculator's tariff coverage runs from July 24 through October 2, 2026. It rejects other entry dates until the rules are checked again, even though FY2027 processing fees have a published longer schedule. It does not predict policy changes or promise a future duty-free import.
