Do I need to pay customs duties when ordering from the USA?

No, most customers in the USA don’t pay any customs duties at all.
That’s because orders under $800 USD enter the U.S. tax-free thanks to the "De Minimis Threshold."

At Minifigures Display, our wooden display frames typically cost between $37 and $97 USD, so nearly all U.S. orders are well below that limit.

What is the "De Minimis Threshold"?

The de minimis threshold is a U.S. customs rule that allows goods valued at less than $800 USD to be imported without paying any duties or taxes.

• Orders under $800 USD: No customs duties or taxes.

• Orders over $800 USD: You may be charged import duties (typically 3.9% for wooden display frames – HS code 4414.90).

What are customs duties?

Customs duties are taxes charged by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on imported goods. These are calculated based on:

• The declared value of the product

• The product type (we use HS code 4414.90 for wooden display cases)

• The origin country (our products ship from Spain)

What happens if I place a large order?

If your total order value exceeds $800 USD, U.S. Customs may apply a small duty (around 3.9% of the declared value). In that case, your shipping carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.) will contact you to arrange payment before or upon delivery.
