U.S. reinstates acceptance of parcels from China and Hong Kong after suspension

The United States Postal Service, has announced, that it has resumed accepting parcels from China and Hong Kong, following a brief suspension after recent tariff changes.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Postal Service announced it would resume accepting all inbound mail and packages from China and Hong Kong, reversing a suspension that lasted less than a day.

The initial halt came in response to the U.S. government's imposition of a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, as well as the suspension of a customs exception, which previously allowed packages valued under 800 U.S. dollars to enter the country duty-free.

The brief suspension had raised concerns among e-commerce platforms like Temu and Shein, which heavily rely on direct shipments from China to U.S. consumers.

Following the resumption of accepting parcels, Temu's parent company, PDD Holdings, saw its stock recover some losses.
