Some inbound packages from China and Hong Kong suspended by USPS


The U.S. Postal Service has temporarily suspended all inbound packages from China and Hong Kong Posts until further notice. This change comes after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, with a provision eliminating the popular trade loophole known as “de minimis” which allows duty-free shipments of packages worth less than $800 into the U.S. This provision has been critical for Chinese e-commerce firms such as Shein and Temu.

China Post and Hong Kong Post are government-operated postal services, and it is unclear if the suspension applies to package shipments from these countries sent via private mail carriers. Cross-border e-commerce companies rely on USPS for last-mile deliveries, and the suspension could increase costs for sellers and consumers.

De minimis imports have been criticized for giving Chinese companies an unfair advantage and allowing illicit drugs to enter the U.S. Trade organizations and advocacy groups have pushed for curbing de minimis shipments. Chinese e-commerce platforms like Temu and Shein have stated that their business models do not rely on de minimis. They have also opened distribution centers in the U.S. to store goods locally.

The trend of opening U.S. warehouses for domestic distribution has increased due to trade restrictions. This has led to explosive demand for logistics companies like Qianhe Technology Logistics in Los Angeles. The impact of the suspension on Chinese e-commerce growth in the U.S. remains uncertain.
