US Section 321 | $800 Duty-Free Threshold Explained

What is Section 321?

US Section 321 is a US Customs regulation that allows duty-free entry of personal packages valued at $800 or less. This is an important policy benefit for cross-border e-commerce sellers.

Eligibility

• Package value under $800
• One package per person per day
• Must be for personal use
• Commercial bulk shipments not eligible

Important Notes

While Section 321 brings benefits, sellers should note that US Customs is strengthening scrutiny of low-value packages, especially suspected split commercial shipments. Sellers should operate compliantly.
