April 20 (UPI) – DHL Express announced that it would suspend deliveries of more than $ 800 in response to cost increases and US customs regulations caused by the Trump administration tariff plan.
“This change has caused an increase in formal customs of customs, which we manage 24 hours a day,” the company said in a statement.
DHL said deliveries will temporarily stop on Monday “until further notice,” he said, adding that business shipping will continue but can face delays.
Previously, expeditions up to $ 2,500 were allowed to enter the United States with little paperwork, but from Monday, the threshold will be lowered.
The company said that it tried to “develop and manage this increase”, but that “shipping worth more than $ 800, whatever the origin, can undergo delays of several days”.
The drop in tariff thresholds targets the so-called “de-minimi” rule and will affect companies such as Temu and Shein which are sending cheap items from China to the United States-both companies have already declared that prices will increase prices in the United States.
President Donald Trump published a decree to eliminate the rule, which, according to the White House, “tackled the supply chain in synthetic opioids”, which, according to him, played “an important role in the synthetic opioid crisis in the United States”.
Beijing said that the opioid crisis is a problem with the realization of the United States and has attentive that China has the strictest drug policies in the world.
DHL, one of the many maritime companies making changes to its operations based on the United States pricing policy, is based in Germany.
