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.
Filing for Entry Type 86 is not mandatory but is highly beneficial for E-commerce businesses dealing with goods valued under US$800. By utilizing this entry type, businesses can enjoy expedited clearance and exemption from duties and taxes, making it a cost-effective option 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.

Any shipment(s) that meet the criteria to fall under the Section 321 exemption – A clause in the U.S. customs laws known as Section 321 permits duty-free entrance for a limited number of low-value goods. In particular, it exempts products from customs and taxes as long as their entire fair retail value is below a set de minimis threshold. The de minimis barrier, as of the latest, is $800, which means goods worth $800 or less can be imported into the U.S. duty-free.
