Section 321

The Section 321 Duty Exemption Experts

The Section 321 duty exemption is a hot topic in the world of US eCommerce, but most people don't truly understand the law and its purpose.
Under Section 321, Congress establishes a de minimis rule, or a minimum dollar amount, to determine whether or not CBP should be required to process a formal entry prior to releasing a shipment.  The de minimis amount acts as a tool to ensure shipments that arrive at a port of entry are able to be processed and released in a timely manner.  Set it too low and CBP agents would have too many low value shipments to process and shipments could be held at the border for longer periods of time.  Set the de minimis too high and the Government loses revenues and foreign countries could get a competitive advantage over US based companies.
This dollar amount has changed over time.  It was last changed in 2016 under the Obama administration.  It was increased from $200.00 to $800.00.  In order for the law to change again, it would take an act of Congress to pass a bill that modifies the law.
WFC's team has been helping brands take advantage of the $800.00 de minimis rule for over eight years.  Our customers have reduced their cost of goods on their eCommerce inventory by 15%-42%.  We encourage every company that is importing products into the US and selling them through a direct to consumer sales channel to contact us to see how much they can save.
We are experts at the process and there is no better location than Windsor, ON Canada to take advantage of Section 321.

How Does Section 321 Work?

Let’s look at it step by step. You import inventory to a uniquely advantageous location such as Windsor, Canada. Your inventory is held in bond and due to this, you will not need to pay any Canadian Duty. When an order is ready to be fulfilled, it’s picked, packed, and shipped – tax and duty-free to the U.S.

While it’s theoretically simple, in practice, filing paperwork, navigating governmental regulations, and fulfilling orders with lightning speed and accuracy can be very risky. That is why it is best left to the professionals at Windsor Fulfillment.
