DHL Suspends U.S. Deliveries Over New Customs Tariffs
DHL Express halts shipments over $800 to the U.S. due to increased customs regulations following Trump's tariff policy changes.
Summary
DHL Express has announced a temporary suspension of deliveries to the U.S. for packages exceeding $800, due to new customs regulations that have increased clearance requirements. Previously, packages valued at up to $2,500 could enter the U.S. with minimal paperwork. This change, part of the Trump administration's tariff regime, aims to address concerns over illicit shipments from China but has sparked criticism from companies like Hongkong Post, which halted its services entirely in light of the new rules. Shipments below $800 will remain unaffected, but businesses may face additional delays.
