Twenty-five nations have declared a temporary suspension on all postal shipments to the United States amid tariff uncertainty. As of August 29, 2025, the United Stated will remove the de minimis exemption from law that allowed goods under $800 to enter tax-free. Tariffs range between 10% to 50% on the declared value, or $80 to $200 per parcel. Goods above $2,500 are subject to a Merchandise Processing Fee and additional formal customs checks. Processing delays and increased costs were incurred immediately, but now, a growing number of nations have decided to simply discontinue parcel service.
In Europe, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Czechia, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Portugal, and Ireland suspended services. In the Asia-Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand have halted services as well. Canada has also curbed its mail exports. All of this has been implemented at the federal level, whereas previously, individual postal carriers determined whether or not they would service the US.
“Despite discussions with U.S. customs services, no time was provided to postal operators to reorganize and assure the necessary computer updates to conform to the new rules,” France’s La Poste said in a statement. The Australia Post said the temporary partial suspension has been necessary to allow us to develop and implement a workable solution for our customers.” Italy’s Post Italiane noted that “the absence of different instructions from U.S. authorities,” forced the suspension of services. The United States did not consider the logistics of suddenly transforming import regulations.
American consumers are watching their orders decline in real-time. Items in transit are being returned of delayed, especially if they arrive after August 29. This is a fatal blow to small businesses that rely on international orders. American consumerism composes two-thirds of all GDP and other nations eagerly line up to sell their goods. Any downturn in trade is a negative for all parties involved.
The situation is still developing, but any suspension in parcel delivery will hurt the global economy. The United States did not give the world sufficient time to prepare for this new regulation. The EU, Japan, Canada, and others have the experience and infrastructure to integrate compliance changes and digital customs data, but other nations with less developed postal infrastructure are unlikely to quickly adapt their systems. These nations have been forced to halt services due to logistics rather than a punishment to the US as all parties involved will face consequences.

Quite the quagmire of word challenge battling over Americigan and Canagian staple to as some Receive 25% up to even 50% Tariff tagging. As all time trades have always had many hands in to the price of the all common to everyday consumption and consumables. Cars boats and trains planes and all pocket goods. Completely being pay the sharks an catfish. "Jacking Prices to Roofing Heights"
Tariff = equal trade a $ for a $, Part to Part metal content to content. Fair Equal and greater under-rated expression. To stop these world traders cheat and break it down to non-existence, is Step Back and consider the greater value to continent and country peoples. Of So many being immigrated around as cattle trade to working labor jobs into all every country wide (removing the engine of local all peoples doing their own country jobs).
Threats and all, similar to the late 1600's cotton trades and labor abuse. Primary goal to such be Returns to Building it all for such own country "Built in America – Strong again".
Re-manufacture and grow all your own "AGAIN". So as media thwarts another bragging story leading off all truths. Think this is justice to Tariffs. If CDA can remove/fire the clowny and have Kevin O'leary or similar to Daniel S. of Alberta take over the rein. Restored Republic can welcome all peoples and neutral conditions to "Rebuild it all and be Proud" to see things change to better ALL. (ROUSA + Cda united as one)
But you will forget all this.
