Donald Trump’s tariff tangle: Global express giants pause high-value shipments to us | Economic News
Washington: The new tariff regime of U.S. President Donald Trump also influences another sector – express delivery delivers a certain value to the country’s citizens. DHL Express announced that it will suspend delivery of more than $800 in all countries due to the “significant increase” of the Customs’ Traditional Tape Festival.
The giant said it will temporarily stop shipping from all countries to U.S. consumers on Monday until further notice. However, global courier Major said business-to-business transportation will continue to move forward, “although they may also face delays.”
Previously, parcels worth up to $2500 could enter the U.S. with minimal paperwork, but the value threshold has been lowered due to the new tariff regime’s stricter customs checks, which was launched in early April and then temporarily placed on time.
DHL said the change “caused a surge in formal closures that we are dealing with around the clock” and that the goods are valued over $800 regardless of their origins, regardless of their origins.
The company said it will still deliver parcels worth less than $800 that can be sent to the U.S. with minimal checks. However, this segment also faces a challenge – the U.S. will close a vulnerability on May 2, allowing low-value packages to enter the U.S. without any responsibility, and the U.S. will also tighten the curb for these delivery when the vulnerability is closed on May 2.
The Trump administration claims that “many shippers” in China hide illegal substances and hide the content of the real goods given to the United States through deceptive shipping practices.”
The White House said the measures were designed to “solve the synthetic opioid supply chain” and said “are playing an important role in the synthetic opioid crisis in the United States.”
Last week, the Hong Kong Post said it was suspending packages sent to the United States by sea and would no longer accept packages destined to be doomed to the United States from April 27.
