The U.S. Postal Service will temporarily suspend accepting inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong until further notice, according to the agency's website.
The change, effective Tuesday, will not impact the flow of letters and 'flats' from China and Hong Kong, according to the website.
The USPS did not immediately comment on whether this was tied to President Donald Trump's change of ending 'de minimis' shipments from China and other countries.
Trump's halt to Section 321 de minimis is part of his implementation of an additional 10% tariff on China and 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which were paused for a month.
Nearly half of all packages shipped under 'de minimis' come from China, the U.S. congressional committee on China said in a June 2023 report.
