U.S. imports of estimated imports of low-valued transactions (HS 999995) totaled $3.1B in April 2026, traded with 228 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataStatistical aggregation code 999995 captures US import shipments that fall below the formal entry threshold — commonly known as de minimis or low-value transactions — where individual commodity classification is not reported at the line-item level. Customs brokers and trade analysts encounter this code in Census Bureau trade data as a catch-all statistical construct rather than a true tariff classification, meaning it reflects estimated aggregate value rather than a specific product category. Because the underlying goods span virtually every commodity type, this code is used exclusively for data-reconciliation and statistical purposes and carries no standalone duty treatment of its own. China, Mexico, and Canada consistently appear as leading source countries, reflecting the sheer volume of small-parcel and e-commerce flows from those trading partners.

No. Code 999995 is a statistical placeholder used by the Census Bureau to estimate the aggregate value of low-valued transactions that are not individually classified by commodity. It does not correspond to a specific product or tariff line, so it cannot be used to analyze trade flows for any particular good.
China's dominance in this statistical category reflects the extremely high volume of small-parcel and e-commerce shipments originating there. The sheer number of low-value consumer goods packages from Chinese sellers means a disproportionate share of unclassified low-value transaction estimates are attributed to that origin.
The de minimis threshold determines whether a shipment requires a formal entry and full duty assessment. Shipments captured in this statistical category typically entered informally or as Section 321 de minimis entries, but the applicable rules — including any changes to de minimis eligibility — are set by CBP regulation and can change; importers should consult a licensed customs broker for current entry requirements.
