Mexico says the suspension of postal disposals to the US over the latest tariff confusion

Mexico City-Mexico said on Wednesday that his postal service suspended the shipping of the package to the United States before an end to the release of low-value tariffs by the Trump administration. The announcement follows similar moves by postal services from the European Union and several other countries to wait for the delivery as they await more clarity on the US measure. It also comes amid months of negotiations between the Mexican government and the Trump administration to avoid larger rates. The exemption – known as the “De Minimis” exemption, which allows packages worth less than $ 800 in the US service -free – ends Friday. A total of 1.36 billion packages were sent under this exemption for goods worth $ 64.6 billion in 2024, according to data from US Customs and Border Protection. The Mexico government said its postal service, Correos de Mexico, would temporarily suspend the US deliveries. “Mexico continues its dialogue with US authorities and international postal organizations to define mechanisms that enable the orderly resumption of services, to provide user security and avoid setbacks in the delivery of goods,” the statement says. With the announcement, Mexico joins several European and other countries, including Australia and Japan, to suspend the shipping to the US amid confusion over new import taxes. Mexico tried to negotiate with US President Donald Trump to avoid increased rates by taking more aggressive security measures against the country’s drug cartels and sending dozens of prisoners to the US for prosecution.
