AICES Policy Paper: Low Value Goods Regime

There is a clear direction of travel globally to change the customs processing of importation of low value goods. The USA abandoned duty de minimis in August 2025 and the EU proposes a Customs Reform package in 2026 that changes their approach to low value goods removing duty de minimis. The UK announced a review of the low value regime in April 2025 and a consultation is expected to be announced in the Budget on 26 November.
