HR 5960

This bill, the Territorial De Minimis Exemption Act, aims to permanently maintain the current de minimis import rule for goods originating from specific U.S. territories. Currently, these territories benefit from a rule allowing for duty-free imports of small-value items. The bill would solidify this exception, allowing goods valued at up to $800 from the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa to enter the United States without paying duties. It also includes provisions to prevent abuse of the exemption and ensures consistent application with previous rules.
