TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan Post said on Monday it will suspend accepting some postal items to the United States, due to U.S. President Trump’s order to terminate the global “de minimis” exemption, a rule exempting low-value items from customs duties.
U.S.-bound individual gifts exceeding $100 and goods for sale will no longer be accepted from Wednesday, “in line with other national postal operators,” the Japanese company under Japan Post Holdings said in a statement on its website.
