The United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced a temporary suspension of incoming parcel services from the Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) effective February 4. The USPS website confirmed the suspension, stating that it will remain in place until further notice.
While the acceptance of parcels has been halted, the USPS clarified that the flow of letters and flat mailings from these regions will continue uninterrupted. The agency did not provide specific reasons for the suspension.
Customers and businesses relying on shipments from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong may experience delays due to this change. The USPS advises affected individuals to stay updated through official channels for information on when services will resume.
This development comes as international mail and package services face various challenges, impacting both consumers and merchants engaged in cross-border commerce. Those dependent on imports from these regions are encouraged to explore alternative solutions to mitigate potential disruptions.
