The US post service will temporarily suspend the acceptance of accepting incoming packages from China and Hong Kong in the midst of the trade war of President Donald Trump.
The change, which is in force on Tuesday, has no influence on the stream of letters and 'flats' from China and Hong Kong, the desk wrote on its website.
USPS did not immediately comment on whether this was linked to Trump's decision to put an end to the shipments of 'the minimis' on goods with a value of less than $ 800 from China and other countries.
The president stopped the age-old trade law with which the import of low price is able to hire the United States as part of its performance of an additional rate of 10 percent on China and 25 percent rates for goods from Canada and Mexico-Herffings A month were paused on the last two countries.
Trump's explanation was to tackle shipments from Fentanyl and his precursorchemicals in the US.
Almost half of all packages that are sent under the rule of 'De Minimis' comes from China, including Fast Fashion Giants Shein and Temu, according to a report of June 2023 of a conference committee for China.
Trump's decision to terminate the rule may now be devastating for Shein, Temu and other companies that are built on a 'factory to consumers' model, which depends on retaining costs – and prices – as low as possible .
But the move benefits Amazon, eBay and other large online sellers who send goods from the US that they have already paid when they are imported.

Michael Sobolik, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, said the Telegraph: 'If [Shien and Temu] Do you act like most companies, it would not surprise me if they pass on the costs.
'But the real challenge is that their entire business model depends on how incredibly cheap these products are.
“American consumers will have to wonder, will they be willing to pay higher prices for these goods?”
The American customs and border protection agency processes more than a billion the minimis shipments per year, with Shein and Temu alone almost 600,000 packages are good daily.
US shares initially fell on the news on Monday morning that Trump would introduce the rates, but they recovered recovered after a deal with Mexico was closed to postpone them for a month.
Even if the president does not continue with a full series of rates, he plans to end the 'the Minimis rule'.
In the meantime, designers have hit Temu and Shein after the retailers have copied their products.
Frustrated craftsmen have been brought to Tiktok to expose how their designs are 'scammed' by websites such as Shein, which was founded in China in 2008.
