European and Indian Postal Services Suspend U.S. Shipments Over Tariffs
European parcel companies are temporarily suspending some shipments to the U.S. due to new U.S. tariff policies that eliminate the 'de minimis' exemption for packages over $800, leading to logistical uncertainties and disruptions in international shipping. While the policy aims to increase tariff revenue and prevent illicit imports, it has caused significant operational challenges for European postal services, with some expecting the disruptions to be brief while they adapt to new customs procedures.
