What has changed with shipping to the US after August 29th, 2025?
On August 29, 2025, a new executive order from the White House removed the $800 de-minimis threshold for imports into the United States.

As a result of the regulatory change, Spring GDS discontinued its Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) postal service for e-commerce shipments to the USA and introduced a Postal Delivered Duty Paid (PDDP) solution. This ensures shipments remain compliant and avoids flat-rate clearance fees, providing a smoother and more predictable delivery experience.
