Section 321 – Type 86 – a better method for approaching e-commerce

In 2019, U.S. Customs and Border Protection deployed the Section 321

Type 86 program.

This program is a new customs entry type that allows for the import of goods without the payment of duties and taxes if the value of the shipment is less than US $800 in value.

How can e-commerce businesses benefit from Section 321 Type 86?

1. No duty payment for imported items valued less than US $800
2. No need for local fulfillment warehouse for receiving, shipping, and other processes
3. Faster processing time
4. All PGA shipments can be processed
