Sorry Shoppers: Trump’s Tariffs Mean No Packages From China

The USPS announced a temporary suspension of inbound packages from China days after the president signed an order imposing a 10% tariff on the country.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) announced Tuesday it would temporarily suspend all inbound packages from China and Hong Kong until “further notice.” “Temporary Service Disruption: Effective Feb. 4, the Postal Service will temporarily suspend only international package acceptance of inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong Posts until further notice,” the alert read. “Note the flow of letters and flats from China and Hong Kong will not be impacted,” meaning letters and large envelopes will still be allowed to pass through. The notice comes days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing a 10 percent tariff on imports from China. “China hopefully is going to stop sending us fentanyl, and if they’re not, the tariffs are going to go substantially higher,” the president said on Monday. He also signed 25 percent tariff orders for Mexico and Canada over the weekend, but agreed on Monday to delay imposing them.
