US Postal Service restarts China deliveries as Trump tightens import tax rules

The US Postal Service (USPS) has resumed parcel acceptance from mainland China and Hong Kong after a short-lived suspension caused by new trade regulations imposed by President Trump. This policy change follows the abolition of a duty-free threshold for packages under $800, affecting many online retailers, particularly in the fashion sector. Those like Shein and Temu previously benefitted significantly from this exemption. Critics argue this regulation undercuts domestic retailers. Amidst these changes, other regions like the EU and UK are also seeking to impose stricter regulations on low-value goods imports.
