USPS suspends incoming parcels from Hong Kong and China
Briefly

The U.S. Postal Service's decision to suspend inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong is significant for American consumers, particularly younger shoppers who rely on affordable products from e-commerce platforms such as Shein and Temu. This move follows the imposition of a 10% tariff on Chinese goods and the elimination of a customs exemption that previously allowed low-value parcels to enter the country without tax. As a result, increased shipping times and costs may lead to higher prices for these popular online retailers, reshaping the landscape of international e-commerce.
The U.S. Postal Service has announced a temporary halt on inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong, signaling potential price increases for consumers.
With the removal of the 'de minimis' exemption and the implementation of a 10% tariff, online shopping will become more costly for consumers.
