The US administration’s earlier announcement to cancel the small-sum duty-free arrangement for goods from Hong Kong to the from May 2 and to increase the tariffs payable for mail items to the US carrying goods will not be collected by Hongkong Post, which will suspend the acceptance of mail items to the US carrying goods from today (April 16).

If members of the public have posted ordinary mail items carrying goods before and the items cannot be delivered to the US Hongkong Post will contact the senders to arrange for return of items and refunds from April 22.
For airmail, Hongkong Post will suspend the of airmail items carrying goods from April 27.
Members of the public who send items to the US should be prepared to pay high and unreasonable fees for the US’s bullying and unreasonable measures. Mail items that contain only documents and not goods will not be affected.
Previously, the US Customs and Border Protection had indicated that the of electronic retailers to bypass normal import controls through small transactions has led to a surge in the number of electronic products, making it difficult for them to track goods used for smuggling or illegal purposes.
Nearly 4 million shipments enter the United States every day, with the majority coming from China. According to the agency, the minimum transaction amount has increasedfold in eight years, reaching nearly 1.4 billion transactions per year, with a value of $54.5 billion by 2023.
The House stated that it was canceling the minimum threshold for packages from China and Hong Kong due to concerns that criminals were using the quick entry system to smuggle fentanyl ( dangerous opioid drug) and to prevent ultra-low-cost goods from harming the interests of US manufacturers and retailers. However, the fact is that the US is unable to provide that such smuggling is related to China.
It is reported that the US has cancelled the minimum threshold for mainland China and Hong Kong, and the business of the air cargo may decrease. The move by Hongkong Post further exacerbates this trend. Air transportation is the main mode of transportation for e-commerce because of its speed. Due to tariffs retailers are expected to shift a significant portion of their imports from air to other countries. Postal services sign contracts with airlines to carry parcels on their behalf.
