International postal services are facing disruptions in shipments to the United States following the expiration of the 'de minimis' exemption on tariff duties for small packages. This exemption, which allowed duty-free entry of goods worth $800 or less into the US, will be eliminated starting Friday.
The removal of this exemption is part of President Donald Trump's broader trade policy, which has already impacted US consumers and businesses. The exemption had previously provided a loophole for e-commerce giants, but recent changes have led to challenges for both sellers and buyers.
