USPS backtracks on suspension of incoming parcels from China, Hong Kong

The US Post Service (USPS) backtracked on a decision to suspend incoming parcels from China and Hong Kong, after fears of major trade disruptions. According to media reports, the decision to suspend packages arriving from China and Hong Kong was a consequence of tariffs imposed on China by US President Donald. Alongside the tariffs, Trump also slashed a duty-free exemption for low-value packages, many of which come from Chinese-founded online retailers. Yesterday, the USPS said it was working with Customs and Border Protection to put in place an efficient collection mechanism for the new China tariffs to ensure the least disruption to package delivery.
