European postal services suspend shipment of packages to US over import tariffs

The end of an exemption on tariff duties for low-value packages coming into the United States is causing a wide array of postal services to pause shipping as they await for more clarity on the rule. The exemption, known as the " de minimis " exemption, allows packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. duty free. A total of 1.36 billion packages were sent in 2024 under this exemption, for goods worth $64.6 billion, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agency. It is set to expire next Friday. On Saturday, multiple postal services around Europe announced that they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties.
