Feb 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Postal Service will temporarily suspend accepting inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong Posts until further notice, the USPS website showed.
The change, effective from Feb. 4, will not impact the flow of letters and ‘flats’ from China and Hong Kong, according to the website.
USPS did not immediately comment on whether this was tied to U.S. President Donald Trump’s change to ending ‘de minimis’ shipments from China and other countries.
