When you actually commit, and you may/might land with less than final reserve, you should declare "minimum fuel".
Slight difference, when you commit and any additional delay means you will dip into final reserve you have to declare "minimum fuel". At that point it should still be fairly certain that you land with the full final reserve at the intended destination. However, any additional delay and you're into "mayday fuel" territory.
