Enforcement in United States carries fines from USD 250 to USD 10,000 under 19 USC § 1497 (failure to declare); 39 USC § 3005 (postal fraud) (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).
- Fine: 250–10000 USD
- Statute: 19 USC § 1497 (failure to declare); 39 USC § 3005 (postal fraud)
- USPS CN22/CN23 mis-declaration or undervaluation on inbound postal parcels triggers civil monetary penalty and duty re-assessment. Repeat offences escalate to fraud (19 USC 1592) with penalties up to 4× the duty value.

Postal imports no longer have a duty-free de minimis threshold: the USD 800 Section 321 exemption is suspended for mail shipments from all countries, and since 24 July 2026 CBP's postal informal entry process applies to mail shipments unless formal entry is required. Bona fide gifts up to USD 100 remain exempt. USPS international parcels are subject to CBP examination. Commercial shipments via post require formal entry if over $2,500.
