Question 1

What is a de minimis value?

Accepted Answer

When we’re talking about international eCommerce, de minimis refers to a country-specific threshold that tells you when duties and taxes are applied.

Question 2

What is de minimis?

Accepted Answer

De minimis is a Latin term that simply means something that is so small or trivial that the law does not refer to it and will not consider it. This term has been around for a while with usage in legal arenas for various applications, but its application within international eCommerce is much more specific.

Question 3

How does de minimis apply to cross-border transactions?

Accepted Answer

When goods get shipped to another country, the importing (or destination) country may wish to levy duties and taxes on those goods by collecting them from the person or company importing the products. Duties and taxes generate revenue for the importing country. Each country sets its own de minimis value threshold for when it will assess duties and taxes on an import. The value threshold is what we call the de minimis value.

Question 4

How does de minimis affect my ecommerce business?

Accepted Answer

As merchants grow their international business, they need to understand the barriers an international shopper faces when purchasing from a foreign website. De minimis value is an excellent example of one of these foreign regulations. De minimis value significantly impacts ecommerce. This is because B2C orders are typically a much lower value than B2B, and a larger percentage of your shipments will clear duty and tax-free to specific countries.

Question 5

How can de minimis influence the buying experience on a website?

Accepted Answer

Clearly communicating the calculated de minimis value can have the same effect as offering a promotion or sale. If a shopper realizes they can spend up to 150 EUR before a duty will be applied, they will more likely add items to their shopping cart to maximize the benefit of staying under the de minimis value.
