The Mexican government has temporarily suspended postal and package shipments to the United States starting August 27, following the new U.S. measure to eliminate the tax exemption for packages valued under $800, known as “de minimis.”
This measure applies not only to Mexico but to all countries. Therefore, starting August 29, taxes will be charged on all packages received from anywhere in the world, regardless of the value of the goods.
“For this reason, Correos de México will temporarily suspend postal and package shipments to the United States while new operational processes are defined,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) and Correos de México reported.
In this regard, Mexico joins a list of countries that include Germany, Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand , which have also suspended their postal services to the United States.
In a joint statement, they stated that Mexico continues its dialogue with U.S. authorities and international postal organizations to define mechanisms that will allow for the orderly resumption of services, providing certainty to users and avoiding setbacks in the delivery of goods.
They also reiterated the Mexican government’s commitment to promoting the interests of Mexicans through joint negotiations and collaboration.
