The USPS faced turmoil after the Trump administration imposed new tariffs on Chinese imports, which eliminated a duty-free loophole for low-value packages. This led to an abrupt halt of incoming packages from Hong Kong and China, affecting popular e-commerce platforms like Alibaba and Shein. However, by the next day, USPS reversed the ban but mentioned the need for close surveillance with Customs and Border Protection to minimize delivery disruptions. As CBP focused on inspecting packages to combat illegal drugs, the e-commerce industry experienced significant upheaval, with trucks facing delays and refusals at the border.
They were actually going through the trucks and randomly checking the packages. This process, coupled with monitoring illegal drugs, is causing significant disruption to deliveries.
The e-commerce industry was immediately thrown into chaos by the USPS changes, reflecting how quickly policy shifts can impact logistics and consumer transactions.
