The USPS has announced a temporary suspension of inbound packages from China and Hong Kong following a new executive order from President Trump, which imposes a 10 percent tariff and amends the de minimis exemption for low-value goods. While this suspension targets packages specifically, letters will continue to be processed normally. The decision aims to limit low-cost imports that have proliferated through e-commerce platforms, but it is likely to cause delays, as inspection requirements are heightened, affecting both USPS and private couriers. The change is significant considering the rise in de minimis shipments.
The United States Postal Service is temporarily suspending inbound packages from China and Hong Kong following President Trump's executive order imposing a 10 percent tariff.
