DHL lifts delivery freezing for valuable packages in the USA to

Bonn (dpa-AfX)-The logistics group DHL has recently announced that the previously imposed delivery stop will be lifted for valuable packages in the USA. This decision results from constructive discussions with the US COTTOMERS and other relevant institutions to optimize the customs regulations.

The background of this delivery stop was in a change in the US customs regulations, in which the limit for a formal import process was reduced from $ 2,500 to $ 800. This adaptation resulted in DHL that DHL was faced with significant additional effort in the costing, which led to the decision to set the transport of packages with a value over $ 800 on April 21st.

The recent changes to the customs regulations that have had a positive effect on the processes at DHL is now able to resume deliveries of these packages. It is important to note that the delivery stop had no effect on packages between companies (B2B) and on shipments with a value of less than $ 800.

DHL, which belongs to Deutsche Post, also operates the domestic postal business under this roof. The cancellation of the delivery stop could be an important development for both the consumers concerned and the company, since it enables the smooth shipping of valuable goods to the USA.

These adjustments in the customs system and the resumption of deliveries can be seen as part of the ongoing efforts to efficiently shape international trade and to manage the challenges that arise from new regulations.
