Postal Operators Suspend US Services as De Minimis Exemption Ends

Postal operators worldwide have temporarily halted services to the US due to the end of the de minimis exemption. The Universal Postal Union (UPU) reports a significant drop in postal traffic, with consumers potentially facing price increases and order delays.

The Trump administration's decision to end the de minimis rule on August 29 has led many postal operators to suspend services to the US. Despite no known individual country embargo, the impact is evident. The UPU is working on a solution, developing a landed-cost calculator to help operators resume services.

The end of the de minimis exemption is already affecting businesses and consumers. With the exemption, packages under a certain value entered the US without duties or taxes. Now, these costs must be paid, leading to potential price increases and order delays.
