Taiwan Halts US Parcel Deliveries as De Minimis Exemption Ends

Taiwan’s postal service has suspended deliveries of small parcels bound for the US, effective from Tuesday, following the Trump administration’s decision to halt the “de minimis” duty exemption for low-value goods.

The state-owned Chunghwa Post Co. has stopped delivering packages as “the global postal system has not yet provided a service allowing senders to prepay customs duty, and Chunghwa Post’s contracted carriers have also announced suspension of merchandise mail deliveries,” according to the company’s statement on Monday.
