USPS backtracks on suspending packages from China
The United States Postal Service backtracked on its decision to stop accepting inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong following the US government's decision to end import tax exemptions and to add a 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods.
In an updated statement published Wednesday morning, the agency said, "Effective February 5, 2025, the Postal Service will continue accepting all international inbound mail and packages from China and Hong Kong Posts. If the agency decides to hold all de minimis shipments at the border, that means they may have to process around 3.7 million packages a day to check how much import taxes and other additional fees the receiver or buyer has to pay. In the future, though, China's e-commerce platforms could start adding those fees, along with the 10 percent tariff now required for Chinese goods, to a customer's total amount, making it more expensive to buy from websites like Shein and Temu.
