Type 86 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entry type that streamlines the import process for goods valued at under US$800 (de minimis). This entry type, previously referred to as Section 321 customs clearance, exempts such shipments from duties and taxes, offering a simplified clearance procedure.
These shipments are filed on the ACE manifest without a formal Customs entry, given no entry restrictions exist. Since duty and tax exemption applies to Type 86 shipments, it also eliminates the need for an entry bond.
While Entry Type 86 is designated for PGA Regulated Goods, it can only be utilized if no fees are associated with the PGA. If fees apply, Entry Type 86 cannot be employed. Additionally, goods subject to anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties, quota restrictions, as well as alcohol and tobacco products, are ineligible for Entry Type 86 clearance.
U.S. CBP introduced Entry Type 86 to improve the monitoring of low-value shipments entering the United States under the de minimis threshold (Section 321). This entry type enhances CBP’s ability to screen imports more effectively, helping to ensure border security, prevent the entry of prohibited goods, and maintain compliance with U.S. import regulations
Filing for Entry Type 86 is optional but highly advantageous for E-commerce businesses importing goods valued under US$800. By utilizing this entry type, businesses can benefit from expedited clearance and exemption from duties and taxes, making it a cost-effective solution for high-volume importers.
To be eligible for Entry Type 86, goods must not be subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties, quotas, or PGA fees. Products such as alcohol and tobacco are also ineligible. This entry type is ideal for E-Commerce goods that meet these criteria, providing a streamlined import process.
For businesses unsure about whether to file or how to proceed, CrimsonLogic’s software offers a robust solution, facilitating bulk submission of clearances. This tool is especially useful for those new to the import process or managing large volumes of transactions.
