, which previously allowed goods valued under USD 800 to enter duty-free. Now, all shipments with commercial value are subject to duties and taxes, regardless of declared value.

For shippers in Singapore, this regulatory shift has two big consequences:

Standard postal lanes for commercial items have been suspended.

Only premium or specially designed services can be used for parcels with commercial value bound for the US.

Both SingPost and JustShip have adjusted their services to meet the new requirements. In this guide, we compare their Express and Standard options to help you choose the best solution for your needs.

Express services are designed for time-sensitive shipments that need to reach the US quickly and securely. Both SingPost and JustShip offer options for customers who value speed, tracking, and reliability.

Express services are best for customers shipping higher-value or urgent parcels such as gifts, electronics, or business samples. If your shipment is time-sensitive or requires additional protection, this class of service provides peace of mind.

Both services offer international express delivery, but JustShip Express stands out as the stronger choice. It delivers a more modern and flexible shipping experience, offering high-quality delivery with no compromises at a much lower price point.

With faster delivery windows, optional insurance up to USD 10,000, and no strict weight limits, JustShip Express provides premium express shipping without the premium cost.

Standard or economical services are meant for shipments where cost control and predictable delivery matter most. Both SingPost and JustShip have adapted these offerings to fit the new US customs environment.

JustShip Standard is designed for eCommerce sellers and frequent monthly shippers who need reliable DDP delivery with clear, upfront costs. The service requires KYC verification and is available exclusively to eCommerce users, making it a strong fit for businesses that ship to the US on a regular basis.

If you are a casual or one-time shipper, Speedpost Direct International may be the simpler option. However, for merchants who ship consistently every month, JustShip Standard offers a key advantage: fixed DDP rates with no surprise charges at delivery.

Beyond predictability, JustShip’s pricing is also highly competitive. Its 0.1 kg weight breaks give businesses finer control over shipping costs and full visibility into every shipment.

For occasional senders, Speedpost Direct International remains a practical choice. But for regular eCommerce shippers, JustShip Standard is clearly the stronger long-term solution. Its predictable DDP pricing, flexible weight increments, and transparent structure make it ideal for businesses that value cost consistency and a smooth cross-border experience.

With the US de minimis rule now removed, all commercial-value shipments are subject to duties and taxes. Choosing the right shipping service is crucial to balance cost, speed, and reliability.

For urgent or high-value parcels, JustShip Express provides a modern and flexible shipping experience with high-quality delivery and no compromises — all at a much more competitive price.

For regular eCommerce shipments, JustShip Standard is ideal for monthly shippers who need predictable DDP pricing and full cost transparency, ensuring no surprise charges at delivery.

Whether you are shipping a single parcel or fulfilling orders every month, JustShip offers clear, reliable, and cost-effective solutions to help you ship to the US confidently under the new customs environment.

SingPost vs JustShip: USA Shipping After the De Minimis Rule Change

Since 29 Aug 2025, all shipments entering the U.S. face customs duties and taxes, regardless of value.

While many shipping providers have had to raise prices or pause services, we’ve focused on keeping your shipping experience smooth. Over the past few weeks, we’ve rolled out key enhancements for you: full duties calculation based on HS code and country of origin, and complete landed cost payment upfront. No surprise fees, ever!

As part of our continued efforts to improve your experience, here are this month’s updates to our services.

You'll now have three shipping options: Express, Standard and Postal.

Our partners removed the DDU (duties delivered unpaid) option for Select Shipping, with DDP handling at SGD 10 compared to SGD 3.40 for Standard Shipping.

As demand shifted towards Standard Shipping, we decided to phase out Select Shipping altogether to focus on improving Standard Shipping and the services you rely on most.

Sellers are winning with fewer surprises and faster deliveries.

Upfront landed costs — no surprise fees at the door. Many sellers switch to us after getting stung elsewhere.

Lower customs fees — vs. “cheap shipping” offers that shift costs to duties/taxes.

Reliable delivery — 92% delivered in ≤15 working days since 29 Aug–9 Oct 2025; 8% were held by customs amidst market-wide volatility. And we’re improving fast.

Handling fee increases by from SGD 2.50 to SGD 3.40 (

) BUT shipping fee also goes down for many weight breaks

Peak surcharge in Q4 for all shipping providers, also a pure pass-through of costs

Remote charge implemented, it should not affect ~80% shipments

Express Asia & Australia even more competitive

Premium 2-day delivery at great rates to whole of Asia and Australia
