Section 321 Fulfillment

Duty-free de minimis fulfillment for orders under $800 per recipient per day. Per-recipient threshold tracking, Canadian and Mexican forwarder integration, customs documentation handled end-to-end.

What Section 321 fulfillment covers

Cross-border under $800, the way it should run.

1

Per-recipient threshold tracking

The $800 limit is per recipient per day. We track aggregated value across SKUs and shipments so you don't trip the threshold by accident.

2

Forwarder integration

Direct integration with our Canadian and Mexican forwarders. Outbound consolidated at the border, manifested for de minimis entry, no per-parcel customs broker fees.

3

Compliance documentation

Per-order commercial invoice, HTS code, country of origin. Audit trail kept for 5 years per CBP requirement.

How a Section 321 fulfillment runs

Four steps from US warehouse to international buyer.

  1. 01

    Order ingest + screen

    Order syncs from your channel. Aggregated value screened against the $800 per-recipient-per-day limit before pick is released.

  2. 02

    Pick + pack

    Standard pick-and-pack with per-order commercial invoice generated and attached. HTS code and country of origin captured per line.

  3. 03

    Consolidated outbound

    Orders consolidated to a daily border-crossing manifest. Single Type 86 entry filed for the whole load — no per-parcel broker fees.

  4. 04

    Last-mile handoff

    Canadian Post / Canada Post / Mexican last-mile carrier receives the consolidated load at the border. Tracking pushed back to your storefront.

Zone skipping becomes a very visceral, clear kind of black and white way for you to lower the effective rate for final mile parcel delivery.

Why cross-border brands move 321 to us

The threshold tripped once costs more than a quarter to unwind.

1

Threshold tracked across SKUs.

Most 3PLs track $800 per shipment. We track per recipient per calendar day across SKUs and orders. The threshold is enforced before the pick releases.

2

Type 86 filed daily.

Daily consolidated Type 86 entry for de minimis. You aren't paying per-parcel broker fees. Customs trust is built on a single audit-clean filer.

3

Forwarder relationships pre-built.

Canadian and Mexican forwarders integrated into our outbound. Border crossing isn't an integration project — it's a pre-built lane.

4

CBP audit-ready records.

Five-year retention of commercial invoices, HTS codes, and aggregated value records. The CBP audit doesn't surprise you.
