US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Postal Service are struggling with increased package inspections due to new trade rules affecting shipments from China. CBP announced that these packages must now undergo 'formal entry,' requiring extensive documentation and increased fees. This change particularly impacts low-cost retailers like Shein and Temu, forcing many smaller ecommerce businesses to pause shipments or raise prices due to heightened import duties. Additionally, logistics companies such as DHL and Hongkong Post are limiting their services, further complicating the landscape for ecommerce shipping.
CBP's new guidance requiring 'formal entry' for packages from China imposes extensive documentation and higher processing fees, complicating the shipping process.
Logistics carriers like DHL and Hongkong Post are refusing individual packages to the US, creating additional challenges for ecommerce sellers relying on shipments.
