Japan Post will stop accepting packages bound for the United States with a declared value of more than $100 or which contain commercial items.
The pause, which begins Wednesday, follows an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on July 30 and effective Aug. 29, which suspends duty-free “de minimis” treatment for packages with a declared value of less than $800.
Parcels from China lost de minimis treatment in May. Now, parcels from all countries will be tariffed if their value is greater than $100.
