USPS Resumes Acceptance of Packages from China After Brief Suspension Amid Tariff Changes

The USPS has reinstated inbound mail from China and Hong Kong following a short-lived suspension due to new tariffs, aiming to minimize disruption for e-commerce.

Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has reversed its brief suspension of inbound mail and packages from China and Hong Kong, effective immediately. This decision comes after UPS announced plans to work with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on implementing new tariff measures following a 10% tariff imposed by the Trump administration, which eliminated the de minimis exemption for packages under $800. The initial suspension caused alarm for e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu. As shipping processes adapt, experts anticipate potential delays and price increases for consumers relying on affordable Chinese goods.
