Courier DHL Express World Cabinet has announced a temporary suspension of all consumption business shipments worth more than US $ 800 to people in the United States, including Hong Kong after recent customs rules have caused prolonged delays.
The company, which included adjustment in a list of temporary changes to its services in an email sent to customers on Saturday, said that disturbances were the result of recent changes in American customs regulations and targeted shipping with declared customs value exceeding US $ 800.
DHL Express said that consumer business shipping with a declared value of more than US $ 800 addressed to individuals in the United States would be suspended on Monday “until further notice”.
Company shipping to business to American companies with a declarable value greater than US $ 800 would not be suspended, although they can also make delays, said the email.
“The President of the United States has published several decrees imposing additional prices on all countries and eliminating the” minimis “treatment for all products with a country of origin from China, Hong Kong and Macao,” said a letter from the company.
In addition, shipments from all countries of a value greater than US $ 800 would require official entry treatment in the United States, and previous regulations allowing shipments worth US $ 800 and US $ 2,500 with a more rationalized “informal entry” process would be canceled.
