Last updated: July 2026 dataMinimum value shipments — commonly called de minimis entries — are low-value import transactions that fall below the threshold requiring formal customs entry, currently set by statute for US imports. This end-use category aggregates those transactions for statistical purposes rather than tracking a specific commodity, making it a residual statistical bucket in Census Bureau trade data. Trade analysts use this category to understand the volume and value of informal-entry traffic, which has grown substantially with the rise of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer cross-border shipments. Policy discussions around de minimis reform frequently reference this category's aggregate data.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
The US de minimis threshold allows shipments valued at or below a statutory limit to enter without formal entry or duty payment. However, certain goods — including those subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders, Section 301 tariffs on specific origins, or other trade remedies — may not qualify for de minimis treatment regardless of value. Importers should verify eligibility with a licensed customs broker.
Unlike HTS-based commodity codes that describe what is being imported, end-use code 50030 on the import side is a Census Bureau statistical aggregation of low-value informal entries. It does not correspond to a specific product type and cannot be used for duty or admissibility determinations — it exists solely to capture de minimis transaction volumes in trade statistics.
