USPS Reverses China Parcel Suspension Amid Tariff

News summary

The United States Postal Service (USPS) reversed its decision to suspend inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong following a 10% tariff imposition on Chinese goods by the Trump administration. This reversal, made within a day of the initial suspension, allows USPS to cooperate with Customs and Border Protection to implement a collection mechanism for the new tariffs, aiming to minimize delivery disruptions. The initial suspension was partly due to the removal of the 'de minimis' exemption, which allowed low-value packages to enter the U.S. duty-free. Companies like Shein and Temu, which relied on this exemption, were expected to face significant disruptions. The changes have sparked trade tensions, with China announcing retaliatory tariffs on select U.S. imports. The USPS's swift policy reversal indicates an attempt to mitigate economic fallout from these trade policies.
