World Shipping Company DHL Express said it suspended all shipments of more than $ 800 for American customers, including Hong Kong, as of Monday, April 21.
The announcement comes in response to the recently implemented American customs rules requiring official entry treatment for all shipments assessed at more than $ 800. It was announced at the beginning of the month by the Trump administration. Before the change, the minimum for shipments was 25 hundred dollars.
DHL says that business shipping will continue, but can face delays. He added that shipments to companies or customers worth less than $ 800 will not be affected.
This decision comes when Straight Arrow News recently reported that the Trump administration has closed a flaw with new prices, which have enabled many Chinese companies to send cheap items to the United States thanks to what was nicknamed the exemption of “Minmis”.
The flaw allows companies like Shein and Temu to send items worth less than $ 800 to maintain low prices for consumers. More than a billion packages used this exemption last year, doubling the figures of 2022, according to American officials.
President Donald Trump should impose a rate of 90% on these shipments, triples his initial rate of 30%. From May 2, China will be subject to these tasks on the items assessed or less than $ 800.
The break in DH-L expedition occurs while the United States and China remain in a commercial dispute in which the Trump administration has imposed prices up to 245% on Chinese imports. Beijing imposed heavy reciprocal prices in response.
Economists have warned that the current trade war between the two largest economies in the world could lead to global disturbances for customers and increase the risk of recession in the United States, as well as limiting choices for customers.
