Continuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries

[Executive Order 14388] is an executive action signed by President (name not specified in the document) that continues the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment for imports and applies duties to many international postal shipments (Sec. 2, Sec. 3). The order revises Executive Order 14324 and directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect duties and implement new entry processes (Sec. 1, Sec. 3, Sec. 5(b)). It ties postal duties to the Proclamation of February 20, 2026, and requires carriers to collect and remit those duties until the proclamation expires or CBP issues a new entry process (Sec. 3(b)). This matters to everyday people because it can change how much you pay for small imported goods bought online and how those packages are processed (Sec. 2, Sec. 3).
