He announced a new fee and stated that the delivery of packages from China would be suspended.
The US postal service did not give the decision to temporarily suspend the package. It says that covering Hong Kong also accepts flat parcels and letters.
Customs agents need to confirm and clear the package mailed from China in accordance with Trump’s decision to abolish the “minimum” rules that exempt from cargo less than $ 800 from their duties.
With this change, the cost of 4MN PARCEL per day arriving in the United States under the exemption of De Minimis is rapidly increased from the Chinese e -commer group Temu and Shein in China. As the flight was interrupted, the moment Beijing rely on exports to offset the weak demand in the domestic economy, new tariffs threaten to collide with a rapidly growing international E -commerce trade in China.
Exports have stated that Chinese logistics companies are still operating, but some have begun to demand a 30 % prepaid withholding fee to cover the increase in tax at the time of minimum shipment. 。

LIU sold circuit boards on Amazon, ebay, and other sites, and the United States accounted for 20 % of annual sales. “This (increase in tariffs) comes directly from our pocket.”
On Wednesday, Chinese Logistics Company CNE EXPRESS corresponds to 30 % of RMB20 handling rates for each package, in addition to the 30 % “comprehensive tariff” of cargo order value. A notification has been issued.

Last year, the Joe Biden administration flags to change the De Minimus administration. The United States has blamed for the floods of drugs and other illegal products to enter the country.
However, Trump’s speed of additional tariffs on China surprised many people. President’s presidential ordinance approved the addition of 10 % of additional blankets and the disposal of De Minimis, signed on Saturday and enforced on Tuesday.
A parcel who used to be de minimis qualified not only must pay 10 %, but also collides with existing tariffs.
U.S. leaders said on Tuesday to talk to the Chinese counter part, “I’m not in a hurry,” but Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping are expected to make a call in the next few days.
“What we need now is not a one -sided increase in tariffs, but a dialogue,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on Wednesday.
Some exporters said they had stopped receiving and sending orders while waiting for the change to be clear.
People who are familiar with Temu’s problem said that they had almost canceled cargo reservations from Hong Kong from Friday.
“It created a little confusion.. As we know, de minimis is basically dead, and many airlines that are actually flying to the United States are dead.. Folding. I canceled it, “he said.
GONGSUN, a vendor in Southeast China, sold at Amazon, said that DHL, UPS, and Fedex were still taking parcels, but all shipments were stopped in the United States.
“I don’t know what will come next,” he said.
Gary Lau, a business development director of FREIGHT FORWARDER JET-SPEED AIR CARGO FORDERS, believed that Chinese exporters could increase because of the much lower price than other countries.
Wen Biao, a general manager of Qianhe Technology Logistics, based in Shenzhen, said that Chinese sellers already had a thin margin and would be forced to increase their selling prices.
“It is highly likely that customers (in the United States) will have to pay further in the future,” he said.
DHL, UPS, and Fedex did not respond immediately to comment requests.
