Type 13 Informal Mail Entry

The de minimis exemption is suspended. Type 86 is eliminated. Every postal package entering the United States now requires a customs entry. Type 13 is the new electronic informal entry for mail shipments under $2,500 β€” and Goldmex files it in 2 seconds via Goldmex AI.

What Changed

The $800 duty-free exemption is indefinitely suspended per 19 USC 1321(b). 1.36 billion shipments/year are affected.
ELIMINATED
Entry Type 86
The voluntary electronic de minimis entry type is no longer available. Shipments must use Type 11 or Type 13 instead.
NEW
Entry Type 13 β€” Informal Mail
Electronic entry for postal shipments under $2,500. Requires: S10 barcode, 10-digit HTS, bond, pre-arrival filing.

How It Works

1.Describe Your Package

Enter the product description, declared value, weight, and S10 tracking barcode. The S10 barcode (13-character UPU format) identifies your postal item and triggers Type 13 entry detection automatically. No customs knowledge required β€” plain language descriptions work.

2.AI Classification + PGA Screening

Goldmex classifies your product to a 10-digit HTS code in under 2 seconds using AI trained on 10.5M product digital twins. Simultaneously, all 16 PGA agencies are screened β€” FDA prior notice, EPA compliance, CPSC safety, and more. If PGA flags are detected, the entry is upgraded to Type 01 formal.

3.Duty Calculation (Ad Valorem + MPF)

Since the de minimis exemption is suspended (H353528), every package owes duty at the applicable ad valorem rate plus a flat $2.69 Merchandise Processing Fee. USMCA/T-MEC eligible goods from Mexico and Canada may qualify for preferential rates. The total is calculated before your package ships.

4.Electronic Filing via CUSITM M55

The entry is filed electronically with CBP ACE as a CUSITM M55 (WCO standard) β€” the new digital replacement for paper CN22/CN23 customs forms. Filing happens pre-arrival, meeting H353528 deadline requirements. A licensed customs broker attests the entry per H350722.
