Will I be charged a tariff ?

 

US Customs only apply import tariffs to items over $800.  (Excluding China. As of 2/5/25 )

 

As a Revo-Rack is less than $800 and is a personal import shipped form the UK you will be not be charged a tariff by US Customs. This is known as the De minimis rule.

The de minimis exception was created in the 1930s to ease the work of customs officials who were required to collect tariffs in cases where the revenue would be less than the cost of collecting the duties. Congress raised the threshold for de minimis packages to $5 in 1978 and $200 in 1993, and then to $800 in 2016.

 

De minimis entry under Section 321 of the Tariff Act of 19301 allows an importer to bring shipments into the United States without filing formal entry paperwork or paying taxes and duties so long as the total daily value of the importer’s entries is below $800. 

 

US Customs & Border protection state :

"Any articles imported under this section for personal use with a value of under $800 can be imported duty free "

 

USA customsclearance.com state

"Goods valued under $800 are generally exempt from U.S. import duties, which is helpful for personal or small business imports​"

"pausing taxes on any goods worth $800 or less imported into the US until the Commerce Department can develop a system for imposing those hard-to-track items"
