Global Postal Services Suspend Deliveries to the U.S. Amid Tariff Confusion
As uncertainty around new U.S. import tariffs escalates, several countries, including India, Germany, and various European nations, have announced the suspension of postal services to the United States. Major global mail carriers, such as DHL and Swiss Post, have halted shipments, citing confusion over the upcoming end of the de minimis tariff exemption, which allows low-cost parcels to enter the U.S. duty-free. These changes come as small businesses scramble to adjust, fearing increased shipping costs and delays. Postal operations across Europe and Asia are being impacted, raising concerns about the availability of goods and potential disruptions to deliveries. As countries navigate these new regulations, many customers could face uncertainties regarding their orders.
