The U.S. Postal Service is suspending the acceptance of parcels from China and Hong Kong until further notice, U.S. media reported.
A statement on the USPS website said it would not affect letters and regular mail from China and Hong Kong.
The reason for this decision is not specified.
However, media outlets emphasize that this comes after US President Donald Trump revoked the “de minimis” rule for China, which allowed small parcels worth less than $800 to enter the US duty-free.
The rule was repealed as part of the introduction of a 10% duty on goods from China and Hong Kong.
As the media noted, the new rule could affect e-commerce sites such as Shein and Temu.
