US Postal Service Reverses Decision, Resumes Accepting Packages from China and Hong Kong
In a significant turnaround, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has reversed its brief suspension of incoming packages from China and Hong Kong. Initially, USPS had halted parcel acceptance due to new tariff policies enacted by the Trump administration, which threatened to disrupt e-commerce operations for companies like Amazon, Temu, and Shein. However, following a swift backlash and logistical concerns, the USPS announced it will continue to accept parcels from these regions, aiming to mitigate disruption in service. This decision comes amidst ongoing trade tensions and alterations in customs regulations affecting global shipping.
