The US Postal Service (USPS) has issued a statement indicating a temporary halt on accepting parcels from mainland China and Hong Kong, while letters remain unaffected. This suspension is being enforced "until further notice," though no specific reasons were provided. The decision follows recent actions by former President Donald Trump, who introduced a 10% tariff on all goods entering the US from China and eliminated a previous $800 exemption for duty-free imports. The growing volume of parcels arriving through this exemption raised concerns over the ability to effectively screen for illegal items. Amid increasing scrutiny, USPS’s latest announcement marks a key development impacting international shipping. Further updates on this evolving situation will be provided as they arise.
