After negotiating “adjustments” to customs regulations, DHL has lifted the ban it had placed on shipments to the US totalling more than $800 (£603). The shipping behemoth announced earlier this month that it has halted orders to US consumers “until further notice” due to a “significant increase” in red tape resulting from President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.
However, following “constructive dialogue” between the US government and the delivery industry, DHL has finally removed the restriction. According to a DHL representative, the company “values this positive development and the federal government’s support in making these changes.
Requests for comment have been made to the Department of Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security, and US Customs and Border Protection. The most recent development in the ongoing dispute between companies and the White House over US tariff plans is DHL’s reversal.
Packages up to $2,500 could previously enter the US with no paperwork, but the threshold has been cut as a result of stricter customs inspections that were implemented earlier this month along with the taxes. According to DHL, the modification “caused a surge in formal customs clearances, which we are handling around the clock” last week.
