Exclusions from de minimis: any/all FDA regulated items

Summary: cottagewoman shared information regarding the end of the de minimis exemption for certain FDA-regulated products such as cosmetics, dinnerware, and radiation-emitting devices, effective July 9, 2025. prescilaschina inquired about whether vintage bone china is affected, expressing concern over shipments from China. mrdutch1001 and cottagewoman discussed the lack of specific restriction on Chinese goods, while other participants like sapphyres-designer-jewellery considered alternative sales strategies. The discussion revealed uncertainties and suggested the need for further clarification from cross-border shippers and marketplaces like eBay and Etsy. Eventually, cottagewoman requested the deletion of the post, acknowledging that their information was outdated, leading to the topic being locked by the moderator.

No cosmetics, dinner ware including utensils, and any device emitting radiation (microwaves, TVs. CD players, etc)

Effective as of July 9 2025. Had to cancel eye shadow orders. Pulled another 20 dinnerware and flatware items.

If an admin can delete this post I would appreciate it. My sincere apologies for causing others worry and concern in this post. My information was out of date as I had read information in another recent post and when searching for confirmation on other sites the dates lined up, but the info was from last year.

They won't delete it, but you can "report" the post and tell the Mods you want the topic closed, then people won't be able to reply anymore.

Can anyone please explain it like I'm 5, with respect to cosmetics?

Say we want to sell lipstick. What do we have to do now in order to sell said lipstick? And since there's no de minimis, I guess this means duties are applied?

Have the cross-border shippers put out any statements regarding this?

These sorts of things affect them immediately so they're usually the most knowledgable on the regulations (and likely have paid customs brokers on call to clarify matters and ensure compliancy).

Agree. eBay, etsy, mercari, etc. should also be providing notice and guidance for its sellers.

Not yet, if they do at all... they might want to address dinnerware and cosmetics, since I think we can still ship those with Stallion and Chit Chats.

Food has always been forbidden and perfume is considered hazardous goods.

How are Joe and Judy seller going to be on top of all these non stop changes involved with intl. shipping. He's (without naming names) broken something that has worked fine for recent history.

I must correct here - goods outlined in original post can be shipped de minimis WITH REQUIRED FDA DATA SUBMITTED. Ends my one off selling of overstock , etc.

Am I to understand that even vintage bone china items are no longer covered by the de minimus exemption for US customers? I was counting on being covered until July 2027

Looking into this further it seems to only affect items shipped from China so far.

Can totally understand that factor as even the paint for children's toys made in China back in the day,contained lead...

Please provide any links you have regarding made in China only being restricted - the information in the link I provided doesn't stipulate goods from any one country. And besides, all Chinese goods regardless of type are now excluded from de minimis.

I would assume any dinnerware that comes in contact with food or drink as it's primary purpose to be restricted, until such time we find out more. The post is cautionary, I hold no expertise in the full implications and details of this information.

I sell souvenir spoons. You don't use them to eat.

Collectible tea cups aren't either but... nuance is not everyone's strong suit.

I'm making plans to sell them to people in Canada (most of the souvenir spoons are Canadian anyway, which attracts more Canadian customers).

But I'm in no hurry to do this, I just updated the listings to show the item is in Canada so if I have to mail one and it gets rejected then at least the customer knows it's coming from outside the US.
