USPS Suspends Parcel Shipments from China and Hong Kong: What Does This Mean for Cross-Border Sellers?

In a recent announcement, the United States Postal Service (USPS) declared that it will no longer accept parcels shipped from Mainland China and China Hong Kong, effective immediately. This suspension, which excludes letters and postcards, has left many cross-border e-commerce sellers concerned about their shipments to the U.S.

The postal service did not specify the reasons for the suspension or the expected duration of this halt. However, there are speculations that it could be tied to recent policy changes under the Trump administration. These changes include the elimination of the $800 duty-free exemption and the imposition of a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. For international sellers, especially those based in China, this development could have a significant impact on their operations.

Impact on Cross-Border Sellers and International Shipping

For cross-border sellers in China and Hong Kong, this USPS suspension means that direct shipments to the U.S. are no longer an option. With this challenge in place, many sellers who rely on USPS for parcel delivery now face uncertainty about how to fulfill their orders.

For businesses with goods already in transit or those planning future shipments, the situation becomes even more complicated. Sellers may be forced to find alternative solutions for fulfilling U.S. orders—such as redirecting shipments through other countries, potentially increasing shipping time and costs.
