What happens to an order that exceeds the LVS dollar limit?

When an order exceeds the LVS (Low Value Shipment) dollar limit, it will not qualify for the LVS exception. The LVS exception is specifically designed to streamline the processing of low-value shipments by allowing them to bypass certain regulatory requirements or checks. Once an order surpasses this dollar threshold, it no longer meets the criteria established for LVS processing. This means it must undergo standard procedures, which may include more extensive review or compliance checks that apply to higher value orders.

In the context of processing shipments, the LVS program facilitates efficiency, and exceeding the limit negates this benefit by reverting the shipment to more stringent handling processes. This ensures that higher-value shipments receive the necessary scrutiny to meet compliance and security standards, which are crucial for preventing fraud and managing trade risks appropriately.
