Postal services around the world suspend land supplies to the US as the end of duty-free treatment for low-valuable packages starting next week, chaos sows in global transport.
From August 29, President Donald Trump will end the so -called exemption de minimis, which applied to more than 4 million land that flowed through the US every day, driven mainly by electronic trade.
As part of the new regime, which began in China and Hong Kong in May, goods sent from other countries will be subject to tariffs and compliance with customs and borders. Verified gifts worth less than $ 100 will remain without duties and American travelers can re -enter a country with $ 200 or less in personal matters purchased abroad.
In response to changes, the growing number of national postal services stops the US service this week, and the US authorities clarify the lack of clarity about how the obligations will be collected and how to submit the required data.
In Asia, Korea Post stated that the reception of air plots and some express postal services to the USA will be stopped since Tuesday, maintaining premium services operated by private couriers available on customs duties.
Similarly, Singapore Singpost will suspend standard commercial shipments from Monday for commercial shipments to America, while Speedpost’s Express and Direct International Service are available to retail and business customers.
Japan warned against potential delay or returned land for changes, and the authorities promised to share more information, if available.
European postal services also made modifications with regard to changes, with several suspended shipments. Norway and Finnish postal carriers said that their stops began on Saturday.
“Customs obligations must be paid before the goods can be sent to the US,” said Posti, Finnish postal service, on its website. “US Customs has not yet provided details on how the payments process will work. Postal operators in different countries are currently lacking systems for collecting the required cells.”
The Czech Republic has stopped US land, while the Austrian postal procedure provider will stop receiving them after August 25 and frying changes. Belgian bpost allegedly suspends Friday shipments due to regulatory uncertainty.
The British Royal Post is planning a short suspension next week to implement a revised system for solving newly imposed obligations.
Australia Post temporarily suspended its transit services supplies – a small number of items from third countries sent via Australia to the US, confirmed the spokesman. However, regular direct supplies between the two countries will not be affected.
The White House and CBU did not respond immediately to the request for comment.
The interruption of the service emphasizes the seismic impact of Trump’s decision to eliminate the exception of De minimis and to raise concerns that cheap goods – especially from China – will flood to other economies due to new obstacles in the US.
Long -term policy in Washington has allowed land to flow to the USA from all over the world with low value with small interruptions or supervision, driven by consumers’ demand for shops and speed. The White House claims to have been abused to avoid tariffs and illegal infusions.
Now postal services, online retailers, consumers and transport companies are trying to sort a costly and complicated process to follow the US rules with small leadership of federal agencies.
“It is true that Domino is falling and there will be a wavy effect where more and more contributions are announcing that they will suspend packages to the US,” said Kate Muth, Executive Director of the International Counseling Group Mailer, representing the US International Postal and Transport Industry.
As soon as the exception is over, the obligations for US imports will be assessed by post on the basis of the tariff rate in the country of origin, which Trump has deposited using its emergency powers. Alternatively, packages sent via an international contribution could be assessed with a temporary flat fee of $ 80 to 200 per item, but only in the next six months.
CBP outlined in the 15th August August, as the flat fees would be calculated, which corresponds to the Earth rate. On Thursday, the agency also offered sender to other instructions to issue instructions certified by two companies to collect and pay duties on behalf of international postal carriers.
“It is obviously very welcome,” Muth said, “but it is still a fear that we are only a week away and we only have the first two approved.”
Simply exceeds postal carriers. From August 25th, online market Etsy Inc. It plans to suspend the service of shipping labels for national postal services in Australia, Canada and the UK for US packages.
The company suggested that sender use carriers with services established services that allow them to pay obligations before arriving goods in the US, such as United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp.
FedEx said it continues to accept and transports shipments to the US and is not influenced by the decisions of postal operators. UPS had no immediate comment. The US Postal Service did not answer immediately to the request for comment.
