Postal services in Europe suspending packages to US

The postal services in Belgium, Russia, Spain, Denmark, Italy, Germany and France have suspended on Friday, as the United States ended tariff exemptions on small packages entering the country from abroad.

The postal services pictured were among those to announce earlier this week that they would no longer accept most US-bound packages. Trump’s tariff moves had not previously impacted the mailing of packages valued at less than US$800, which were exempted under “de minimis” rules, a Latin term referring to items too minor to worry about.
