Suspension of Postal Services to the US
As a result of the recently introduced changes to the import tariff requirements set out in US Executive Order 14324, Australia Post has joined a number of international postal operators to temporarily suspend partial postal services to the United States (US) effective immediately until further notice.
This decision has been made to ensure compliance with the new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements. Specifically, the requirement for duties and taxes to be prepaid on all shipments prior to their arrival in the US. The key changes are as follows:
| 1. | Suspension of the de minimis USD$800 threshold exemption. |
| 2. | New mandatory customs declaration requirements. |
| 3. | Duties for imported goods to be collected prior to goods entering the US. |
Australia Post is partnering an authorised CBP third-party provider to offer a solution that, once launched, will allow services to the US to resume. We will advise customers once this solution has been implemented and services resumed. We will provide an update once this solution has been implemented.
