The U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday it's temporarily suspending all inbound packages from China and Hong Kong Posts.
Letters and large envelopes, referred to as "flats," sent from China and Hong Kong won't be impacted, the USPS said.
A provision in the orders eliminates a popular trade loophole, known as "de minimis," which allows exporters to ship packages worth less than $800 into the U.S. duty free.
Chinese e-commerce firms, including Shein and PDD Holdings' Temu, have relied on the de minimis loophole as a way to bypass tariffs, and keep prices low.
