US Postal Service suspends incoming packages from China, Hong Kong

Feb 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Postal Service will temporarily suspend accepting inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong Posts until further notice, the USPS website showed.

The change, effective from Feb. 4, will not impact the flow of letters and ‘flats’ from China and Hong Kong, according to the website.

USPS did not immediately comment on whether this was tied to U.S. President Donald Trump’s change to ending ‘de minimis’ shipments from China and other countries.

Nearly half of all packages shipped under ‘de minimis’ come from China, the U.S. congressional committee on China said in a June 2023 report.

just saw this… there are others but eliminates a lot of shipments leaving easier inspections…
 
This is a standard response to tariff changes. The new rules will take effect in 2 to 3 days.

The only adjustment being made is in accounting. While I can't guarantee the safe travel of your package, I can confirm that this change is about revenue collection ($$$), not increased inspections.

Although it may seem like package inspections are frequent and essential, the reality is different. From a business and accounting perspective, very few packages are actually inspected. Instead, the vast majority of tax revenue is collected through properly filed paperwork.

The enforcement is increasingly focused on shipping companies who fail to ensure the packs they're carrying are properly represented in the new expanded customs data required.

We've seen UGLs lose shippers, who don't feel like eating $50,000 fines and suffer 90 day suspensions because contraband sellers use their services to send packs labeled "powdered grapeseed oil" in the customs paperwork.

The "know your customer" policy and pre-inspections to prevent a disastrous loss of profits by running afoul of customs is putting the logistics companies on the hook for the penalties. That'll be a hell of an obstacle to get around as a UGL seller.

The profits for the carriers are all in carrying legit goods, not the minuscule proportion of contraband.

I hope you're right but I worry that what Ghoul described is closer to reality. Maybe some research peptides survive the scrutiny, but I can't image anything else does.

While I understand your consternation, I assure you I am comfortable with my post and statements. I am not a fact checker and my statement is my statement and it is not a rebuttal or debate. Time will tell and I am guessing I will still be around.
 
Man this is fucked. My gut told me to wait until after CNY to order but I didn’t think things would devolve this quickly.

SSA just posted updated lists a moment ago. Surely they'd only die that if they were confident packs could get through, right?
 
I think this will be temporary. He's flexing, just like he did with the tariffs on Canada and Mexico that were almost immediately reversed. I don't see how they'll stop incoming mail long term or how they'll increase inspections while having a goal of reducing the federal workforce by 5-10%.

I think packs will still get through. We're just going to be paying a lot more than $30-40 in shipping to see it happen.

If you're a peptide consumer you made the right decision. The zero pep saga has spun way out of control. A bunch of vendors have been selling dyed water instead of Lipo-C and NAD+ so obviously fake that it doesn't actually dissolve. It is a very bad time to be a buyer.

Easier inspections and/or significantly more expensive shipping. We're in a lot of trouble.

And there will then be customs duties which will add to the cost of your shipment. In addition Chinese companies like Shein, Wish and Temu which sell consumer items will have to switch to private carriers which indeed will increase shipping costs potentially to the point it's not worth it.
