Description
With the US set to end its $800 de minimis rule for low-value imports on 29 August 2025, most imported goods, regardless of their value, will be subject to customs duties and fees. This webinar is designed to provide clear and practical guidance on the latest tariff changes and shipping requirements.
The United States remains the UK's largest export market, accounting for 21.7% of total UK trade in the four quarters leading to Q3 2024. With £182.6 billion in exports, the US presents enormous opportunities—especially for British brands that enjoy strong recognition across the Atlantic. Additionally, UK businesses can benefit from minimal language barriers when entering the US market.
However, the recent changes to the De Minimis rules for low-value shipments, effective from 29 August, have raised concerns for many exporters.
