Hong Kong's Postal Service, known as Hongkong Post, has officially ceased handling packages containing goods destined for the U.S. This decision is a direct response to the Trump administration's termination of a customs exemption allowing tax-free imports of small parcels. The move, characterized as 'unreasonable' and 'bullying' by Hong Kong officials, will significantly disrupt cross-border trade as it affects packages transported by land, sea, and air—though documents remain unaffected. This escalation is part of broader tensions between the U.S. and China, with Hong Kong bearing the brunt of the trade war adjustments.
Hongkong Post will stop receiving small packages carrying goods by land and sea to the U.S., effective immediately due to retaliatory measures.
This change comes in response to the Trump administration's termination of a customs exception allowing tax-free imports of small-value parcels.
Hong Kong described the U.S. actions as 'unreasonable, bullying,' leading to this suspension of postal items containing goods destined for the U.S.
The ongoing trade tensions highlighted by increasing tariffs on both sides continue to position Hong Kong at the center of U.S.-China relations.
