Qualified Party Model

Under U.S. postal regulations, the traditional Importer of Record structure does not apply.

BoxC acts as the Qualified Party and bond holder. This structure centralizes customs responsibility while allowing the Post to continue operating its standard postal flows

BoxC handles:

  • Informal entries up to USD $800

  • Standard postal flows

  • DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) model

Shipments excluded from informal processing include:

  • AD/CVD goods

  • Quota-controlled goods

  • Formal entry shipments

Exception workflows are defined during onboarding


Duty Methodology

BoxC supports:

  • Ad valorem duties (percentage of value)

Posts may change methodology once per calendar month with 24-hour notice


Exemptions

Certain goods remain duty-exempt, including:

  • Bona fide gifts

  • Informational materials

  • Mail flats and documents

Pharmaceuticals are not exempt under international mail rules
