Currently, US Customs and Border Protection is cracking down on de minimis Shipments from China into the US. It is now currently limited to air shipments from China. However, this crackdown could extend eventually to other countries and ultimately to some degree to marine shipments.
Because de minimis shipping consists of any goods that is less than 800 dollars, this crackdown, might eventually greatly delay the shipping of any package of goods and lengthen the time it would to ship anything into the United States. Also, any package of de minimis goods shipped into the United States more closely scrutinized by the CPB in terms of whether it is properly declared in description and price by the sender. Although it is nothing to worry about now, The situation could change in the future.
