Sourcing from India to USA, done properly.
The US has one of the largest Indian diaspora communities in the world, and demand runs both ways — from specific Indian brands and festival items families want, to Indian-made products that resellers and small businesses want to bring into the US market. We source from Amazon India, Flipkart, Meesho and beyond, and ship it to your door, with current guidance on what’s changed in US customs since 2025.
Customs & duties to USA
Threshold: No current duty-free threshold
The long-standing $800 de minimis duty-free exemption was suspended as of 29 August 2025 and reaffirmed in February 2026. All shipments into the USA, regardless of value, are now subject to formal or informal customs entry and applicable duty. We factor this into your quote upfront.

We’ll confirm realistic processing time at the quote stage rather than promising a fixed delivery window upfront — customs processing is currently less predictable industry-wide since the August 2025 de minimis suspension.
Shipping policy →What needs care shipping to USA.
US customs rules have tightened recently, and accurate product classification and declared value now matter more than ever — since there’s no de minimis exemption to fall back on, every shipment is reviewed. Certain categories also face additional restrictions regardless of value, including some food items, specific herbal/Ayurvedic ingredients, and select electronics.
What buyers in USA source most.
Why DS Corp vs. the alternative.
USA is the highest-value lane on the site, and the 2025 de minimis change is a genuine, current differentiation opportunity — most competitor pages still reference the old $800 exemption.
| Ordering Direct / Other Agents | With DS Corp | |
|---|---|---|
| Customs awareness | Many sites still reference the old $800 duty-free exemption, which ended in August 2025 | We factor in the current no-de-minimis reality and flag this clearly before you pay |
| Declared value accuracy | Risk of under-declaration leading to delays or penalties under stricter 2026 enforcement | We declare accurate value on every shipment to keep your order compliant |
| Staying current | US customs policy has changed twice in the past year — hard to track from abroad | We monitor changes and adjust guidance per order, not from a static page |
Sourcing to USA — FAQ
Has the duty-free limit for shipping to the USA changed recently?
Yes — significantly. The US suspended its $800 de minimis duty-free exemption for all countries as of August 2025, reaffirmed in February 2026. Currently there is no automatic duty-free threshold, so shipments of any value may be subject to duty.
Who pays customs duty on my order to the USA?
This depends on the shipping option you choose at the quote stage. We’ll explain the options clearly, including how duty is currently being collected under the post-2025 rules.
Why does US customs feel less predictable than it used to be?
The end of the long-standing de minimis exemption means nearly all shipments now go through some form of customs review, which the whole shipping industry is still adjusting to.
Are there products you can’t ship to the USA specifically?
Some categories face extra restrictions regardless of value — including certain food items, specific herbal ingredients, and some electronics. We check this at the quote stage.
Can DS Corp help with HTS classification or customs paperwork for the USA?
We prepare proper export documentation and declare accurate values on every shipment. For complex commercial or bulk orders, we’ll guide you on what’s needed.
