Hongkong Post won’t accept US-bound parcels amid Trump tariff war
Postal service suspends land and sea delivery with immediate effect, while airmail packages will be turned away from April 27

Hongkong Post will stop accepting parcels for delivery to the United States by land and sea with immediate effect.
The postal service said on Wednesday that it would contact senders of packages that had not been shipped yet to arrange for a return of their items and a refund, starting from April 22. Parcels containing only documents would not be affected, it added.
“The US government said it will eliminate the duty-free de minimis treatment for postal items dispatched from Hong Kong to the US and increase the tariffs for postal items containing goods to the US starting from May 2,” Hongkong Post said.
“The United States is unreasonable, bullying and imposing tariffs abusively.”
The service also said it would no longer accept items containing goods intended for the US via airmail starting from April 27.
“For sending items to the US, the public in Hong Kong should be prepared to pay exorbitant and unreasonable fees due to the US’ unreasonable and bullying acts,” it said.
