What are the de minimis thresholds by country?

📋 Direct Answer
De minimis (duty-free) thresholds vary by country: US: $800, EU: €150 (reducing to €120 in July 2026 for some categories), UK: £135, Japan: ¥10,000, Australia: A$1,000, Singapore: S$400, Brazil: no de minimis for most goods. Below these thresholds, goods enter duty-free (but VAT/GST may still apply). Important: de minimis is per-shipment, not per-item.
