DHL pauses shipping to the USA: Customs conflict ensures stop

DHL temporarily stops package shipping in the USA

Bonn/Munich (IT BoltWise) - The logistics group DHL has temporarily stopped sending certain packages to the USA due to a customs conflict.

DHL has decided to temporarily suspend packages to private individuals in the USA who exceed $ 800. The reason for this measure is the new customs regulations of the United States, which have reduced the threshold for a formal import process. This change leads to a considerable additional expenditure in the tariff, which caused DHL not to send these packages for the time being.

It is important to note that the decision only affects shipping to private individuals. Shipments between companies and those whose value is less than $ 800 are not affected by this regulation and are still being delivered. The B2B sector is of great importance for DHL and makes up a significant part of the international shipping business.

A company spokesman made it clear that it was a temporary measure that is expected to only take a few days. This information is likely to be a discharge for both consumers and companies, since the restriction will probably not be long -term.

The recent changes in customs regulations are part of a global trend towards stricter trade regulations, which forces logistics companies like DHL to constantly adapt their processes. Experts indicate that such regulatory developments could lead to more digitization and automation of customs processing in the long term. These changes could increase efficiency and reduce costs for companies that regularly process international programs.

While the situation of customs regulations continues to be observed, it remains to be seen whether DHL and other logistics companies have to make further adjustments in order to maintain their service and to meet the new requirements.
