Hong Kong's post office continues to suspend packages for US as it seeks clarification over tariff

SeattlePI.com Friday, 7 February 2025 ()
Hong Kong’s post office has announced it would continue to suspend shipping items containing goods to the United States until further notice, despite its American counterpart having reversed its ban on packages from the city and other parts of China. The Hong Kong government said further clarification is needed on certain matters, including over a tariff. The U.S. post office had announced Tuesday that it would no longer accept parcels from China, after Washington imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods and ended a customs exception that allowed small-value parcels to enter the U.S. without paying tax. Even though the ban was short-lived, it sparked concerns over the potential impact on online shopping.
