As of August 29, the de minimis rule is no longer in effect for US-bound shipments from Thailand. This means ecommerce sellers can no longer send commercial goods by air valued under $800 duty-free.
Now might be a good time to diversify your logistics options.
It also means that if you don’t have one — you will need an IOR (Importer of Record) number. (If your customer serves as the importer, you may use their documentation.)
Important: Amazon is not considered the IOR when selling on their platform.
An IOR number is required to file an Entry Type 11 (for shipments valued under $2,500).
Once your shipment exceeds $2,500, you must file a Type 01, which also requires a Single or Multiple Entry Bond.
In addition, many air freight providers may now request additional documentation, such as HTS codes and more detailed packing lists.
Please stay tuned for more updates.
