New Delhi (India), 31 August (nor): Given the ongoing inability of carriers to transport mail bound to the US and, if there is no defined regulatory mechanisms, the Ministry proceeded to completely suspend all post office categories, including letters, documents and gift items up to $ 100, destined for the US.
In the continuation of the public announcement of 22nd August 2025, the Ministry reviewed the suspension of the post of mail to the United States.
“The separation carefully monitors the situation and makes every effort to restore services at the earliest. Customers who have already booked items that could not be sent may require postage returns,” the Ministry of Communication said in Sunday statement. “The inconvenience caused by valuable customers is sincerely regretted.”
The Ministry of the Stations took note of the Executive Order No. 14324 issued by the US Administration 30 July, according to which from 29 August the exception of the duty de minimis for goods worth up to $ 800 was selected.
All international postal items intended for the US, regardless of their value, were subjected to customs duties according to the International Emergency Economic Economic Energy Act (IEPA) specific to countries.
According to the executive order, transport carriers supplying consignments are approved by US customs and border protection (CBP) to collect and perform obligations for mail.
While the CBP issued some instructions on August 15, several critical processes on the designation of “qualified parties” and mechanisms for collection and remittance remain undefined.
As a result, aircraft carriers bound to the US expressed their inability to receive postal shipments after August 25, quoting lack of operational and technical readiness.
With regard to the above, the Ministry of Contributions decided to temporarily suspend the reservation of all types of postal articles intended for the US, effective August 25, with the exception of letters/documents and gift items worth up to $ 100. All reservations below $ 100 have now been suspended. (Or)
