HR 5960 United States House · 119th Congress

Territorial De Minimis Exemption Act

This bill maintains a $800 duty-free limit for small shipments (de minimis shipments) from specific U.S. territories into the mainland United States. It directly affects residents and businesses in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa, allowing them to import goods valued under $800 per day without paying import duties or taxes. The law prohibits splitting orders to bypass the $800 limit and requires the Treasury Secretary to implement this rule consistently with pre-January 2025 practices. It also adds the Northern Mariana Islands to an existing exemption for bona fide gifts and mandates consultation on trade policies that could harm territory commerce.
