European postal operators are warning jobs and people who have ended the end of the US minimis exemption about small dollar cargoes from all countries, which can now be imported without duties, limiting their ability to transport packages to the United States.
This new move will significantly affect postal operators and customers around the world. Post -operators across Europe are actively working on solutions to meet the new requirements imposed by the United States. Posteurpe, which represents 51 European post companies, said on Tuesday that key details, such as how to collect US customs duties and what data should be sent to US officials, have not yet been fully defined. Customs and Protection of the United States borders issued limited technical guidance on August 15 and provided a short time for full implementation.
“If important issues and processes are not defined and therefore, consistent solutions before the regulations are implemented on August 29,” said the business.
Last month, the White House issued an executive order, which on August 29, valued at $ 800 or less, revoked special measures for commercial goods worth $ 800 or less, saying that the US Customs Act served as a hole for criminals to smuggle goods and companies to escape tariffs. The current rules of De Minimis allows low -value goods to enter the country by import tax exemption and minimum customs processing. A decade ago, Congress raised the threshold of De Minimis to make it easier for ETSY sellers and other small businesses to buy goods from overseas and to compete in digital trade.
In an unprecedented move, the United States needs a telecommunications company – typically an airline – that is responsible for collecting and forming tasks and documents related to post cargo because the US Postal Service is not capable of processing inputs through the CBP automatic system. According to business experts, airlines are equipped with a manifesto to CBP, but they are not interested in registering CBP due to their potential responsibility and updating systems.
The US measured basically eliminated the clearance of ordinary postal customs for nations under the World Postal Convention.
Deutsche post and DHL Parcel Germany said they are able to accommodate and transport packages and postal goods containing goods from commercial customers set for the United States since Saturday. For German and EU goods, the new US customs rate is expected to be 15 % of the value of the goods.
The Lithuanian Postal Service has announced that it would suspend all shipments to the United States, including documents, postcards and gifts, as the main air carriers suspended all shipments addressed to the United States.
Postal, letter delivery and packaging service in Finland also said it had to temporarily suspend gifts and documents because several airlines have refused to transfer any postal goods to the United States.
If you provide details of the sender’s address, letters and cards will be reduced to the post office after August 22. If the sender details are submitted, letters will be sent to Traficom for processing. Posti also has operations in e -commerce and e -commerce in other Nordic and Baltic countries.
“All goods and packages shipped to the United States are effective only if they are insured for their full value and warn that Malta’s postal services can be delayed or disrupted,” Malta’s postal operator said.
The Czech Post said on Friday that the US destination was suspended immediately, regardless of value, regardless of value. Packages containing documents or gifts can still be sent to people worth $ 100. However, these shipments need to complete the postal Customs Declaration, with a thorough and accurate description of the content and the actual value to the US dollar. The new restriction is essential because the US ban on August 29 immediately applies to the border, meaning that the goods must be cleared through the formal entry process and the evaluated taxes must be paid.
The company said “Czech post cannot guarantee shipping to US territory if it is submitted to the Czech post after August 22.”
International posts also warn of transportation that packages with appropriate documentation may still use US customs clearance with new procedures.
Postnord, which offers letters and packaging in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, announced that it temporarily pauses closed cargoes to the United States and Puerto Rico, on Saturday. This allows a gift for gifts worth under $ 100.
“This decision is unfortunate, but it is necessary to ensure the newly implemented laws. We are actively working with our relevant international organizations as well as our US partners to develop and implement the solution and are committed to resume our customers as soon as possible,” said Birn Bergman.
Omniva Group, which offers postal, package and logistics services in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, said he regrets the need to suspend packages to the United States
“However, we have now reached a point where we have to wait for better cooperation from the United States. We will resume delivery depending on the United States as soon as we can ensure reliable and compatible regulation services,” said Sun Cokemalek, a senior business manager.
Post -operators in Belgium and other countries have announced a similar suspension.
