Many of the world stop sending mail to us

Do you have a package that comes on your way from outside? (I do, it’s a gift, and I am very annoyed.) I hope this is not urgent, because it will take one minute before this thing reaches our beaches. The questions surrounding the Trump administration’s continuous tariff system, including a policy to end the exemption from imposing taxes on small packages, resulted in mail services around the world simply not shipping to the United States until things are sorted,,, According to Bloomberg.

Essential for this problem is This minimum exemptionWhich allows packages that do not exceed $ 800 to enter the country without being subjected to definitions. According to the White HouseAbout four million politics’s packages enter the United States every day, reaching more than 1.35 billion per year. Trump fell to this policy significantly, and putting the new tape of less than $ 100 to enter the country exempt from the fees. Everything else will be subject to the definitions that apply to the country from where the package is shipped.

This new policy is scheduled to enter into force on August 29, and the rest of the world raises its hands. For every Bloomberg, there are still questions about how to collect definitions and how countries are supposed to provide relevant information to the American authorities. Instead of dealing with all of this, some countries simply choose not to ship to America at the present time.

I mentioned Bloomberg Korea’s postal service, Korea Post, will stop sending firmness to the United States, which starts on Tuesday. Singapore Singhoust and Austrian Post provider will do the same, just one day before. Norway and Finland get a greater start, declaring that it will stop sending packages to America starting on Saturday, and Belgium stops shipments from Friday. Deutsche Post has stopped in Germany and postal mail service in the Czech Republic has already been charged with charging state packages due to confusion. Other countries, including Australia and the United Kingdom, have announced temporary comments until things are sorted.

These things are supposed to be extracted, because this stopping should be a lot of pain point for the Trump administration to withdraw this forever, although it seems to have a tendency to self -wounds. But the fact that this entire plan has been randomly applied does not raise exactly the rest of the world with confidence that things will be stable and predictable when dealing with the United States.

Meanwhile, low -income Americans will be more difficult through this new policy, According to the National Office for Economic ResearchAnd that I found that eliminating the minimum exemption would increase the average customs tariff facing the country’s poorest symbols to about 12 %, almost double the impact on the richest postal symbols. In total, researchers warn that getting rid of the minimum care of consumers will lead to between 11 billion dollars and 13 billion dollars annually. But hey, this is a little price to pay the price of urging the whole world to a little actual profit.
