USPS Reverses Decision to Suspend Packages from China and Hong Kong

The US Postal Service (USPS) has reversed its decision to suspend the acceptance of packages sent from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. In a U-turn, the USPS announced in a short notice on Wednesday that effective February 5, it will continue accepting all international inbound mail and packages from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong Posts.

The MOFCOM spokesperson said on Thursday that recently, the US imposed a 10 percent tariff on Chinese products and adjusted its small value tax exemption policy. This will undoubtedly increase the consumption costs for US consumers and reduce their shopping experience.

Regardless of how a country's trade policies are adjusted, the inherent advantages and characteristics of cross-border e-commerce remain unchanged, and it still has strong competitiveness, He said, noting that the trend of digital development in international trade will not be altered.

The MOFCOM spokesperson expressed the hope that the US will align with the global trend of international trade development, optimize its regulatory approach, and create a fair and predictable policy environment for cross-border e-commerce development, while also providing domestic consumers with a more convenient and high-quality shopping environment.

“The claim that policy adjustments won’t affect digital trends is wishful thinking. The higher consumption costs will impact US consumers’ wallets.”

“This is more of a political maneuver than a sound business decision. The cost hikes due to tariffs create a double whammy for US shoppers.”

“Restoring international mail from troublesome markets does not erase the damage done by the tariffs. US policy here remains contradictory.”

“They talk about optimizing the regulatory approach, but what about concerns over national security and the safety of imported goods?”

“The USPS decision shows an adaptive regulatory mindset. Change is constant, but the focus on high-quality shopping experiences for consumers is welcome.”

“Digital development won’t mask the fact that US consumers will pay more at checkout, making this policy flip seem more like a diversion than a strategy.”

“It’s great to see that USPS is not closing the door on cross-border e-commerce. This reversal means US consumers continue to have access to a wider variety of products.”

“As tariffs shift the cost landscape, it’s important to ensure service continuity. This reversal helps maintain the competitive edge of cross-border e-commerce.”

“This move is an example of reactive rather than proactive policy. It’s clear that essential details on consumer protection were forgotten.”
