<h1>US Postal Service Halts Chinese Parcels, Impacting Shein and Temu Amid New Tariffs and Customs Rules</h1> The US Postal Service has temporarily stopped accepting parcels from China and Hong Kong, impacting Chinese e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu. This decision follows the US government's removal of the 'de minimis' customs exemption and the imposition of a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. Shein, which relies heavily on USPS for shipping, may face increased logistics costs and potential price hikes. Temu, with a semi-consignment model, might better absorb these costs. The suspension could lead to delays and higher prices for US consumers, while Chinese authorities have criticized the move. Companies may need to use private carriers or adjust their logistics strategies.
