Effective at 12:01am (EDT) on August 29, 2025, the de minimis exemption for all international shipments sent to the U.S. is suspended, meaning duties and taxes now apply to all commercial imports valued at $800 (USD) or below. FedEx continues to accept and transport U.S.-bound express shipments from all countries we serve, including those markets whose postal operators have suspended U.S.-bound shipments in advance of this regulatory change.
