USA orders may be affected: USPS Suspension of Inbound Parcels from China and Hong Kong

Sharing this USA news in case you haven't seen it elsewhere.

As shared by u/gunzrcool, this is likely to hit both Ali and probably Watchdives and other brands (but keep an eye out for Chinese vendor advice/updates):

USPS: Suspension of Inbound Parcels from China and Hong Kong https://www.reddit.com/r/ChineseWatches/s/4QluOZSt1Z

This is the suspension of a US loophole that enabled small orders mailed/couriered from China, below $800, to be exempt of import duties.

Summarised by u/OldNaldAndAbrasive:

The vast majority of goods shipped from China arrive outside the mail system, but Trump’s order specifically eliminated a “de minimis” tariff exemption for small quantities of items and low-value items, including those shipped through a postal service. That exemption covered items worth less than $800.

The mail agency’s move may block or delay, at least temporarily, parcels from retailers including Shein and Temu and some from Amazon.
