USPS resumes shipments from China in abrupt about-face

USPS resumes shipments from China in abrupt about-face

The U.S. Postal Service has agreed to resume accepting shipments from China, less than 12 hours after announcing it would stop doing so.

‘Effective February 5, 2025, the Postal Service will continue accepting all international inbound mail and packages from China and Hong Kong Posts,’ it said in an updated statement Wednesday morning. ‘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 Postal Service had earlier announced it would stop accepting packages from China, as well as Hong Kong, in the wake of the Trump administration’s decision to impose a new round of 10% tariffs on all goods coming from the country.

Letters and flats were not affected by the initial announcement. While the Postal Service did not offer an explanation for the shipment halt, Trump ended a so-called ‘de minimis’ exemption for Chinese goods worth less than $800 in making the tariff announcement.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson had earlier said China would take “necessary measures” to protect its companies, The Associated Press reported — urging the U.S. to “stop politicizing economic and trade issues and using them as a tool, and to stop unreasonably suppressing Chinese companies.”

CORRECTION (Feb. 5, 2025, 10:35 a.m. ET): A previous version of this article misstated when the Postal Service announced it would resume accepting shipments from China. The move came 12 hours after it stopped doing so, not 24.
