International Postal Services Suspend US Deliveries Amid Tariff Changes
Major postal services including Royal Mail, DHL, and various European carriers have announced temporary suspensions of parcel deliveries to the United States due to new U.S. customs regulations and the end of the de minimis exemption. This decision has sparked confusion and concern among customers and businesses alike, as many rely on these services for low-cost shipping. Countries such as Germany, France, and Austria have joined the halt, with additional disruptions reported from postal operators in Australia, New Zealand, and Korea. As the tariff environment continues to evolve, international carriers are scrambling to adapt their operations, leaving many packages undeliverable and creating uncertainty for both senders and recipients.
