Hong Kong's post office has announced it will stop shipping small parcels to the United States after the U.S. government imposed a 120% tariff on these items. This decision follows the termination of the de minimis exemption that allowed parcels valued under $800 to enter the U.S. without tax. While airmail will still be accepted until April 27, non-airmail service is suspended. The move adds pressure on Hong Kong's unique trade status amidst growing tensions between the U.S. and China, further complicating the region's economic landscape.
The government stated that Hongkong Post will not collect tariffs on behalf of Washington, and will suspend accepting non-airmail parcel shipments to the U.S.
The U.S. will end a customs exception allowing small-value parcels from Hong Kong to enter tax-free, imposing a 120% tariff starting May 2.
