About this listen
Logistically Speaking is back for its third season!
In this this episode, Cameron and Scott examine the end of de minimis duty-free treatment that took effect August 29, 2025.
Their guest is Ryan Tanner, Senior Director of Compliance at Flexport. Ryan discusses the dramatic shift from the 2016 $800 threshold that processed over 1 billion packages annually to the current landscape requiring duties on all imports.
The conversation covers how businesses are adapting through hybrid models—combining formal entries, U.S. warehousing, and international postal services with new IEEPA-based flat rates. Ryan explains the third-party qualifier system enabling postal imports, the compliance challenges of transitioning from Type 86 entries, and the uncertain future pending Supreme Court review of IEEPA tariff authority.
With tariff volatility driving demand for bonded warehousing and FTZ space, importers face critical decisions about supply chain strategy as the industry navigates this regulatory transformation.
