Postal services worldwide are pausing certain deliveries to the United States due to President Donald Trump’s recent tariffs on the shipment of some international goods.

Postal services in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Italy are stopping low-value shipments immediately, while France and Austria will follow on Monday, and the United Kingdom on Tuesday. India will temporarily suspend most cheap postal deliveries starting Monday.

The announcements follow Trump’s move in late July to suspend what is known as a de minimis exemption that has historically allowed low-value packages to be spared from tariffs on shipments and allowed foreign companies to ship cheap products to the U.S. for free. 

Trump’s order goes into effect Aug. 29, leading foreign postal service companies to pause shipments due partly to concerns about the time frame to process implications of the new policy on commerce, and saying they cannot guarantee the goods will enter the U.S. before that date. 

The de minimis exemption has traditionally allowed packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. tariff-free. Last year, over 1.3 billion packages were shipped to the U.S. under the exemption, accounting for goods worth $64.6 billion, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agency.

Several shipping companies, including DHL, the largest shipping provider in Europe, said they are suspending shipments of impacted goods due to a lack of clarity on the new policy.

“Key questions remain unresolved, particularly regarding how and by whom customs duties will be collected in the future, what additional data will be required, and how the data transmission to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be carried out,” it said in a statement, according to the Associated Press. 

France’s national postal service, La Poste, issued similar concerns.

″Despite discussions with U.S. customs services, no time was provided to postal operators to re-organize and assure the necessary computer updates to conform to the new rules,″ it said in a statement.

Before expanding the policy through a decree last month, Trump initially confined suspension of the de minimis exemption to China when he first signed an executive order targeting the trade loophole in April, leading major companies such as Temu to halt shipments to the U.S.
