DHL suspends high-value US deliveries over tariffs

DHL Express is suspending deliveries to the US worth more than $800 because of a significant increase in red tape at Customs following the introduction of Donald Trump’s new tariff regime. The delivery giant said it will temporarily stop shipments from companies in all countries to American consumers until further notice. It added that business-to-business shipments will still go ahead, though they may also face delays. The company said it will still deliver packages worth less than $800, which can be sent to the US with minimal checks. But the White House is set to clamp down on deliveries under $800 – specifically those from China and Hong Kong – on May 2 when it closes a loophole allowing low-value packages to enter the US without incurring any duties, as per a report.
