Send packages to the United States

Welcome to MDE, your reliable partner for shipping international packages. Below we offer you a detailed guide to the key features, costs and considerations when shipping a package from Europe to the United States. Our mission is to provide you with a transparent, efficient and secure shipping experience.

Proper packaging

  1. Packaging Materials: We use strong boxes and cushioning materials such as air bubbles, kraft paper or packing peanuts.
  2. Sealing: All boxes are protected with film and sealed with strong adhesive tape and stickers.
  3. Reusable boxes: We try to reuse boxes whenever we can to reduce our pollution footprint as much as possible.
  4. Repackaging: If you need to change the packaging of your goods, we are here to help you.

We take care of your merchandise as if they were our own!

Costs, times and shipping options

  • Carriers: We only work with trusted and guaranteed carriers, such as DHL, UPS, TNT, Fedex and other locations in each country where we operate.
  • Shipping addresses: You can send to the carrier's home or collection point.
  • Shipping Costs: Find out about shipping rates depending on the weight, size of the package and the chosen service. You can calculate the shipping costs using the transportation quote.
  • Estimated Deadlines:
    • Delivery times vary depending on the carrier and the service selected.
    • On average, shipments from Europe to the United States take between 5 to 10 business days.
  • Shipping Options:
    • Standard delivery: Economical but with longer delivery times.
    • Delivery with stopover: Combination of couriers with stopover at a warehouse in the network so that you save as much as possible, with longer delivery times.
    • Express delivery: More expensive but guarantees faster deliveries.
  • Shipping Insurance:
    • Basic insurance included. In case of incidents, €6.67/kg domestic and €10/kg international will be covered.
    • Optional premium insurance with full coverage starting from the declared value of the package.

All shipments have a tracking number included!

Restrictions and Regulations

Prohibited items: The US completely bans:

  • Drugs and precursors: absolute prohibition; includes cannabis derivatives even if legal in some European origin markets.
  • Protected species products (CITES) without permits: ivory, corals, skins.
  • Kinder Surprise eggs: the FDA's most famous ban (a non-edible toy inside food). Yes, really.
  • High-thujone absinthe and certain unpasteurised cheeses: rejected by the FDA.

Restricted items: With permits or requirements:

  • Food: the FDA requires "prior notice" for food shipments; small commercial packaged goods usually pass, artisanal ones struggle.
  • Medicines: only with a doctor's prescription and personal use (max 90 days); the FDA is strict with unapproved drugs.
  • Weapons, parts and ammunition: require an ATF import licence; de facto barred in personal parcels.
  • Products with loose lithium batteries: air transport restrictions; better inside the device.

Customs procedures

  • The change that redefined everything: In August 2025 the US suspended the US$800 de minimis that for years let parcels in tax-free. Today every commercial shipment pays duties under the tariff regime for its country of origin; European goods fall under the EU-US framework agreement rate. If you read old guides about the "free US$800", they no longer apply.
  • Package review: CBP (Customs and Border Protection) reviews shipments; the courier files the electronic declaration and acts as broker in informal clearance (values up to US$2,500).
  • How it is taxed: Duty per HTS line and product origin + processing fees (MPF). There is no federal VAT: state sales tax is not collected on personal imports, which keeps the total moderate versus other destinations.
  • Payment and timing: The courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS, 2-4 working days from Europe) advances the charges and collects on delivery. Informal clearance is fast with a clear invoice.
  • Additional documentation: Invoice with real value, specific description and the product's country of origin: under the new tariff regime, origin determines the duty and a vague declaration makes clearance slower or pricier.
  • MDE tip: The US remains an excellent destination for what is not sold there (niche European brands, European sizes and editions). Consolidate and declare origin properly: it is now the variable that moves your cost.

Frequently asked questions about shipping to the United States

What items cannot be shipped to the United States?

Hazardous substances (explosives, hazardous chemicals), illegal drugs, fresh foods without permits, firearms, and animals or plants cannot be shipped without USDA approval.

Do I need to declare the contents and value of the package?

Yes, it is mandatory to declare the contents and actual value of the package. As of August 2025, the US removed the $800 de minimis exemption, so packages pay an entry fee depending on the product and its origin; Merchandise of European origin is in the lowest band.

What happens if my package contains restricted items?

If the package contains restricted items, such as food or medications, it may require additional permits from the FDA or USDA. These products could be withheld until the necessary documents are submitted.

What additional costs can I expect when shipping a package to the United States?

From August 2025, packages pay a tariff upon entry depending on the category of the product and its origin (European origin in the lowest band). Certain products may require FDA or USDA controls. The quote shows you the real cost, tariff included.

How long does it take for a package to arrive in the United States?

Shipping times vary. Express shipments may take 3 to 5 days, while standard shipments may take 7 to 15 days.

What should I do if my package is detained at customs?

If the package is held, you will receive a notification with the steps to follow. This may include submitting additional documents or paying fees to release the package.

How can I track my package?

When shipping a package, be sure to get a tracking number from the courier. You can use this number to track the package through the carrier's website and get updates on its status.

What documents do I need to send a package to the United States?

Generally, you will need a commercial invoice or contents declaration, and a customs form. For certain items, additional permits or certifications may be required.

Can I send gifts to the United States and how should I declare them?

Yes, declared as "gift" at their real value. Since the de minimis suspension in August 2025, gifts also pay duty by category and product origin (the old US$100 gift exemption was part of the suspended regime). With no federal VAT, the total remains moderate; the quoting tool shows it upfront.

How to handle customs procedures in the United States?

When shipping to the United States, MDE facilitates self-management of the customs proforma to avoid problems. Remember that you must correctly declare the content and its value.

Does the US$800 de minimis still exist in the US?

No: it was suspended in August 2025 and today every commercial shipment pays duty under the tariff regime of its country of origin (for European goods, the EU-US framework agreement rate). Guides quoting the "free US$800" no longer apply. The good news: there is no federal VAT, so the total cost remains moderate versus other destinations.

Do I pay sales tax when receiving a parcel in the US?

No: state sales tax is not collected on personal imports. You pay the duty for the HTS line and origin, plus processing fees (MPF). That is why declaring the product's country of origin properly is now the variable that moves your cost.

Is it true Kinder Surprise eggs are banned in the US?

Yes, seriously: the FDA bans food with a non-edible toy inside, and the classic European Kinder Surprise is the most famous case (the American "Joy" version is different). It also rejects high-thujone absinthe and certain unpasteurised cheeses. Food in general needs FDA "prior notice": small commercial packaged goods usually pass.

Which European purchases make the most sense to ship to the US?

The ones not sold there: niche European brands, European sizes and editions, permitted packaged gastronomy, specific spare parts. Consolidate in your locker, declare origin correctly and use the quoting tool: under the new tariff regime, origin determines the duty.
