DHL stops global programs over $ 800 to US customers
DHL stops global programs over $ 800 to US customers
DHL Express, a subsidiary of Deutsche Post in Germany, has announced that from April 21, it will temporarily hire the international shipping of goods worth over $ 800 to private individuals in the United States. The reason for this is changes to the US customs regulations that lead to longer settlement times.
changes in customs regulations
The company website announced that this notification was drawn up on Saturday, but the exact date is not specified. DHL attributes the stop to new US customs regulations, which prescribe a formal customs processing for all shipments worth over $ 800. By April 5, the limit was still $ 2,500.
affected programs and exceptions
DHL announces that shipping to business is not affected, but also has to expect delays. Shipments below the border of $ 800, both to companies and consumers, are not affected by the changes.
temporary measure
The company underlines that this measure is a temporary decision. In a statement, DHL said last week that Hong Kong will continue to be sent to the USA "in accordance with the applicable customs regulations". In addition, they want to "work with our customers to help them understand and adapt the changes planned for May 2nd".
