This\u200b decision does not affect the flow of letters and flat mail from these\u200d countries. \u200dThe suspension follows a new round of \u2062tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on various imports, including \u200ba 10% tariff \u2063specifically on \u2063Chinese goods. \u2062The rationale behind these\u200c measures is to \u2064combat issues related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-blue-state-claw-back\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Blue State Claw Back\">illegal immigration<\/a> and the \u200dtrafficking of drugs, most notably fentanyl. \u2063The executive order indicates\u200b that some Chinese companies\u200c are using various deceptive practices\u2062 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-ag-moves-to-toss-nra-bankruptcy\/\" title=\"New York AG Moves to Toss NRA Bankruptcy\">evade law enforcement<\/a> and conceal illegal contents in their \u2063shipments. Meanwhile, in response\u200b to these \u2062tariff changes, China has also\u200c imposed its own tariffs on American exports.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The United States Postal Service announced on Tuesday that the agency would suspend intake of international packages shipped from China and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/about.usps.com\/newsroom\/service-alerts\/international\/suspension-of-inbound-parcels-from-china-and-hong-kong.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notice<\/a> d on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/top-insider-warns-new-people-joining-us-postal-service-not-deliver-mail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Postal Service<\/a> website said that &ldquo;effective Feb. 4, the Postal Service will temporarily suspend only international package acceptance of inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong Posts until further notice.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The announcement made clear, however, that the &ldquo;flow of letters and flats from China and Hong Kong will not be impacted.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The move comes after President Donald Trump imposed a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/fact-sheets\/2025\/02\/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-imports-from-canada-mexico-and-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">round<\/a> of tariffs on China, as well as Canada and Mexico, on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The move is an attempt to address the &ldquo;threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-use-fentanyl-crisis-to-pillory-schumer-over-zyn-health-concerns-2\/\" title=\"Republicans exploit fentanyl crisis to attack Schumer on Zyn health worries\">including deadly fentanyl<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>China faces a 10 percent tariff on imports into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The new fee went into effect on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The United States imports some three million parcels from China every day, but does not collect duties and conducts minimal screening, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/04\/business\/china-us-usps-de-minimis.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>The executive order from Saturday said that many Chinese companies &ldquo;go to great lengths to evade law enforcement and hide illicit substances in the flow of legitimate commerce.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Some of the techniques employed by these PRC-based companies to conceal the true contents of the parcels and the identity of the distributors include the use of re-shippers in the United States, false invoices, fraudulent postage, and deceptive packaging,&rdquo;
