The DHL temporarily suspends the delivery of packages from other countries worth more than $ 800 to American customers following more strict customs rules within the framework of the price frame of President Donald Trump.
The break, which comes into force on Monday and will apply until further notice, affects consumer shipments entering the United States from any country, as well as the collections.
Business business deliveries will continue, but DHL has warned that they could make significant delays due to the increase in border control.
A change in customs application lowered the threshold for simplified import procedures. When plans of a value of up to $ 2,500 have passed once among American customs with a minimum of documentation, those of a value greater than $ 800 now require formal authorization.
This change, which entered into force on April 5, flooded the DHL systems and slowed deliveries at all levels.
DHL said on its website: “While we work with diligence to increase and manage this increase, shipments on 800 USD – whatever the origin – can undergo delays of several days.”
He added that the delivery suspension was A “temporary measurement, and we will share updates as the situation evolves”.
Packages worth less than $ 800 remain eligible for faster treatment.
Even these expeditions could be affected by an imminent repression of the “minimis” rule, a long -standing exemption which allows low -cost imports to skip rights and inspections.
This exemption, which was a lifeline for online retailers such as Shein and Temu, should end on May 2.
The two companies have warned customers that price increases are probably due to regulatory changes. The rollback should strike goods from China and Hong Kong, particularly harshly, while Washington moves to close what it considers an escape which allowed certain sender to avoid prices and customs control.
The Trump administration has supervised change as a measure of national security aimed at curbing the flow of synthetic opioids, accusing certain exporters of disagreement of expeditions to hide illicit substances.
Wednesday, Hong Kong Postal Service said it temporarily put the delivery of postal articles from the United States in response to Trump prices.
The service said he challenged the American government’s decision “to eliminate the treatment of Duty Free from Minmis for postal articles shipped from Hong Kong to the United States and to increase prices for postal articles containing goods in the United States from May 2.”
