August 21, 2025: We’re proud to announce a significant regulatory milestone: SafePackage™ has been officially recognized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as a Qualified Party, a designation that authorizes us to calculate, collect, and remit duties on international mail shipments, as mandated by Executive Order 14324, which suspends de minimis duty-free treatment across all countries.
What this means for international postal carriers
Duty collection handled: As a CBP-approved Qualified Party, SafePackage™ is now authorized to calculate, collect, and remit duties on behalf of carriers, streamlining processes and minimizing regulatory complexity for international mail shipments.
De minimis no more: With the elimination of duty-free de minimis treatment coming into effect on August 29, 2025, every international mail item, regardless of its value, is now subject to duty obligations. SafePackage™ ensures your shipments meet the new standards hassle-free.
Recognized by CBP: SafePackage™ is currently one of only two companies nationwide to be certified under this framework.
A critical advantage in duty collection
By stepping into the role of CBP-approved Qualified Party, SafePackage™:
- Eases the burden on carriers by assuming duty processing and legal responsibility.
- Mitigates risk of penalties due to non-compliance under the expanded duty regulations.
- Ensures efficient, regulation-ready processing with duties accurately calculated and submitted on time.
