Welcome to episode 398 of the Postal Hub Podcast. I'm Ian Kerr. Joining me in a moment is Kate Muth, Executive Director at iMAG and we're going to talk about de minimis in the USA as well as the changes that are happening across border e-commerce in the EU. So coming up in just a moment, Kate Muth, Executive Director at iMAG.

Joining me on the line is Kate Muth. Kate is Executive Director at iMAG International Mailers Advisory Group. And Kate, we've got some breaking news from our friends at CBP, Customs and Border Protection, regarding de minimis and things like that. What's happening, Kate? Kate Muth, Executive Director, IMAG International Mailers Advisory Group. Yes, lots of breaking news. This is fresh off the press in our, what we call our Federal Register. Rulemaking from CBP actually is a couple of things.

First of all, there was the indefinite suspension of the de minimis exemption for mail shipments and for all modes of entry into the US. So this is an extension of the executive order from last year's recall that ended the de minimis for low value goods. Now this gets carried out until it actually takes, until de minimis is actually ended by statute through legislation on July 1st, 2027. But the bigger piece of this is that the rulemaking creates this new postal informal entry process, which I'll describe here in a minute.

And then there was also CBP released what they call a general notice to conduct a test of a new electronic informal entry type for mail, for international mail or what they're calling type 13.
