Restore the territorial de minimis exemption

Moylan supports permanently restoring the de minimis duty exemption for Guam and other U.S. islands. He says the suspension of the $800 exemption made everyday packages more expensive and complicated to receive, and describes fees and delays as an added burden for families and businesses. While pursuing restoration, his office is also seeking relief from administrative fees and better access to customs processing through local post offices.

Context: The exemption is described as suspended, and permanent restoration is a goal rather than an enacted change.

In their own words

We’ll keep pushing Congress and the Administration to permanently restore the exemption for our islands.
