At least 25 countries have decided to suspend their package deliveries to the United States following the Trump administration's announcement of the abolition of a tax exemption on small packages entering the United States from August 29.

Wonder how long Temu will last? I know they’ve moved a lot of inventory over here already, but a lot of the stuff still comes from China. Going to be interesting to see how this works out.
SonofaB….
and I JUST paid $127 for a part for a 60 year old tonearm from SME two days ago.
What kind of turntable do you have?
Yeah. I was looking at some vintage turntables from Japan but gave up until this is resolved.
Wonderful, I have $300 in car parts stuck in Japan. Ba$tards had all the parts in stock paid for inc. shipping and couldn’t get their act together to do anything for three days other than create a shipping label that said “SHIPPED” Nope shipping label only “created” The order should have beat the 15% tariff let alone the stop shipment.

Yep, Over the last five days I bought both of our cars portable battery jump starters / tire inflators off of AliExpress, and Temu. Both shipped from the USA.
This on Trump, not those countries.
dangit.
I just paid $6 for an original feather writing quill circa 1800’s
/S
If I am traveling back from one of those countries, do I have to pay a tariff on the first dump I take in my toilet? :-P
We order cooling fans for some equipment from one of those countries (China).
Still need them. Will look in the secondary market. Will cost more and because its for a FedGov customer, it will get paid.
Rarely do I buy anything regularly from UK or Japan maybe an LP or two
The others on the list, even rarer. I wont be losing any sleep or money.
Uncle Sam flexing his market muscle.
Shouldn’t have ever done the whole $800 thing in the first place.
No doubt some government grifters benefited from it.
Yup, during the Great Covid Lockdown Toilet Paper Panic of 2020, I ordered toilet paper from China on Amazon.
It arrived several months later. Very cheaply made toilet paper.
Hmmmm......Mexico or Latin American countries and no Arab countries are on the list.
I wonder why./S
No documentation or sources when I click. Until proven, I’ll assume it’s propaganda.
I have 2 parcels process and were in the process of shipment
Now they are being held up
2 further parcels waiting for processing
I read according to the White House. U.S. Customs and Border Protection processed more than 4 million de minimis shipments going into the country every day
If that is accurate I don’t see how this won’t be resolved quickly
That is a mountain of parcels piling up
All this is is a wait-and-see attitude from the companies.
They need to see what settles out or have the US buyer agree to pay whatever tariff is levied.
That is it.
ITALY????
C’mon, Giorgia.
