General Information for the USA

Customs regulations apply for territories outside of the EU. Please refer to our Customs Information.

When sending personal effects to the USA, the owner of the goods must complete a DECLARATION FOR FREE ENTRY OF UNACCOMPANIED ARTICLES (right click, Save As to download - see also Instructions for filling it out). Clearance delays can occur.

De minimis limit for USA imports

Effective from March 10th 2016, United States Customs and Border Protection has raised the import de minimis limit from $200 to $800. This is the value of a shipment of merchandise that may be imported free of duties and taxes and without the need of a customs declaration.

For those who ship to the US, this will help to speed up your deliveries and reduce costs and paperwork. For those who export from the US to the UK, it will now be easier to accept returned items from your British customers.

Please note: some US government agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, may require formal customs entries on all goods, regardless of value.

Please see the CBP website for more information.
