The United States Postal Service will continue receiving packages from China and Hong Kong after it announced that it would suspend them.
China filed a lawsuit against the U.S. with the World Trade Organization over the 10% tariff President Donald Trump imposed against it. Additionally, it issued its own 10% tariff on U.S. goods.
The USPS announced it would suspend Chinese packages until further notice, which proved to be hours after the announcement. This would have affected e-commerce sites such as Shein and Temu, which are China-based, but it also would have affected Amazon. USPS currently delivers about 9% of all Amazon packages.
“The USPS and Customs and Border Protection are working closely together to implement an efficient collection mechanism for the new China tariffs to ensure the least disruption to package delivery,” the USPS website read.
