What is Section 321 Fulfillment?

Understanding the $800 De Minimis Rule

Why It's a Game-Changer for Canadian Sellers

Section 321 of U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations allows you to import goods valued at $800 USD or less per day per customer — without paying import duties or tariffs. For eCommerce businesses shipping from Canada to the U.S., this is an absolute game-changer. By fulfilling from a Canadian warehouse, you can take advantage of this duty-free threshold to cut costs and boost margins instantly.

Breaking Down the 2025 U.S. Import Tariffs

    April 2025: A flat 10% Universal Tariff is now applied to most imports.
May 2025: China lost de minimis privileges—every item now gets taxed.
20–54% Reciprocal Tariffs: Hit countries with trade deficits hard — raising costs for importers.

  

These new rules are disrupting the way eCommerce companies operate. If you're importing from China or anywhere else, you're now bleeding money in duties and delays. That's why savvy brands are pivoting to Canada-based 3PLs using Section 321 to stay competitive.
