The United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced a temporary suspension of parcel acceptance from China and Hong Kong, directly linked to President Trump's recent executive order that altered the regulations governing lower-value shipments. This order terminates the previous de minimis exemption allowing goods valued up to $800 to arrive duty-free, a change aimed at combating the smuggling of fentanyl and other illicit substances. As a result, major carriers like FedEx and UPS will also face challenges adapting to the new customs requirements imposed by the administration.
