    There's nothing in the CBP rule that prohibits importing prescriptions, although there will no longer be a duty exemption for them. The rule is about suspending the 'de minimis' exemption for shipments valued under $800...

      Wasn't that already suspended in, like, 2025?

        I believe it had a phased rollout, which impacts all parcels soon.

          I was charged $46 of import fees on a $137 of art supplies from the Czech Republic this May.
