The United States is about to cancel the minimum duty-free policy for Chinese products. Please plan your exports wisely!
Starting at 12:01 a.m. (EST) on May 2, 2025, the United States will eliminate de minimis tariffs for products originating from mainland China or the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. This policy adjustment does not take into account the actual origin of the goods. Regardless of where the shipment is sent from, goods originating from mainland China or Hong Kong will be affected by this measure.
Before the new regulations are officially implemented, it is expected that in the next few weeks, the volume of cargo shipped to the United States may increase, or other situations that affect customs clearance may occur. In this regard, CZL Express recommends that customers make export plans in advance, arrange the delivery time reasonably, and leave appropriate time buffer to ensure that your goods can be cleared smoothly and avoid unexpected situations such as tariff changes that affect the transportation timeliness.
During the entire transportation and customs clearance process, we will do our best to protect your international express service. Thank you for your support and cooperation!
