The United States Postal Service announced it will continue to accept packages from China and Hong Kong, reversing a previous decision to stop those deliveries. This change came after President Trump ordered that all goods leaving China follow stricter rules regarding tariffs. While the new regulations aim to enhance customs scrutiny—especially due to concerns over fentanyl smuggling—they also impact e-commerce businesses that benefited from the de minimis rule, allowing lower-value items to enter duty-free. USPS and Customs are implementing a process to manage the new tariffs efficiently without disrupting ongoing package deliveries.
The USPS will continue accepting packages from China and Hong Kong, reversing a temporary halt ordered by President Trump regarding duty-free handling of smaller parcels.
This decision ensures the efficient collection of new tariffs while minimizing disruptions to package delivery, amidst concerns over fentanyl smuggling.
