On February 5, 2025, the U.S. Postal Service announced a temporary ban on accepting parcels from China and Hong Kong, following a new 10% tariff on Chinese goods. This decision is set to impact e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu, which cater to budget-conscious American shoppers. The USPS’s action restricts a crucial supply route for cheap imports, previously benefiting from a customs exemption for parcels valued under $800. Consequently, consumers may face shipping delays and increased costs for popular products that were previously affordable.
As Americans face increased prices for products from popular Chinese e-commerce platforms, the USPS has suspended parcel shipments from China and Hong Kong.
The suspension of USPS services is likely to lead to shipping delays and higher long-term costs for consumers who favor low-cost options from sites like Shein and Temu.
