Mexico's postal service, Correos de Mexico, has temporarily stopped sending packages to the United States starting 28 August 2025. This pause is due to the upcoming end of the US 'de minimis' duty exemption, which currently allows low-value imports under $800 to enter the US without tariffs. With this exemption ending on 29 August 2025, new import duties will apply, causing uncertainty in shipping rules. Mexico's move follows similar actions by other countries' postal services. The suspension aims to push US authorities and international postal groups to clarify customs and tariff processes. This step is meant to avoid confusion and economic problems for senders and receivers while talks continue between Mexico and the US to manage the new trade rules.
