No, Europe did not stop all mail, but many countries and postal services have temporarily suspended the shipment of packages containing goods to the United States due to new import tariffs and confusion over the rules. Some services are still accepting letters and personal gift parcels, while others have suspended all package shipments to the US until they can adapt to the changes.
Why the Suspensions Are Happening
Tariffs on Small Packages:
A US customs exemption that previously allowed low-value packages (under $800) to enter the country duty-free has been abolished.
Lack of Clarification:
Postal services, like France’s La Poste and Germany’s Deutsche Post, stated they were not given enough time or clarity by U.S. authorities to implement the new rules, leading to suspensions.
What Is Being Suspended
Packages of Goods: Most suspended services are for parcels containing commercial goods.
Varying Exemptions: Some countries’ postal services still allow letters, documents, and personal gift parcels under a certain value (e.g., under $100) to be shipped.
What This Means for Mail
Delays:
You may experience significant delays if you are expecting a package from Europe.
Potential for Returns:
Some postal services may return parcels that arrive after the new tariff rules go into effect to avoid incurring fees.
What You Can Do
Check with Your Postal Service:
Verify the specific status of shipments from your particular country and with the company you are using.
Wait for Solutions:
Postal services are working to find solutions to comply with the new U.S. rules.
