Postal services in more than 20 countries have announced the temporary suspension of most parcel shipments to the U.S., citing uncertainty over the effects of a Trump administration policy change.
The suspensions, which affect shipments of goods valued under $800, follow a recent executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump that would effectively end the “de minimis” exemption on August 29.
This rule has allowed goods worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. without duties, taxes or lengthy custom checks since 2016.
