Customs conflict: DHL stops package shipping to the USA
The customs conflict heated by the US President Donald Trump has made high waves. A change in the rule also caused additional work with the logistician DHL. The company now draws consequences.
As a result of the US customs conflict, the Bonn logistics group DHL will no longer deliver parcels to private individuals in the North American state who have a value of more than $ 800 (currently 703 euros). This temporary measure is expected to only take a few days, said a company spokeswoman.
This was justified with the changed customs regulations of the United States, which reduced the limit for a formal import process of $ 2,500 to $ 800. This regulation caused a high additional effort to cost.
Provisions of companies to companies (“Business to Business”, B2B) are to be delivered as well as shipments from companies to private individuals, the value of which is less than $ 800. Deutsche Post belongs to DHL, under which the domestic letter shop is managed.
