Mexico City- Mexico said on Wednesday that its postal service was suspending package shipments in the United States at the end of discounts on tariffs for low-priced packages by the Trump administration.
The announcement follows similar moves by postal services from the European Union and many other countries to stop shipping as they wait for more clarity on American measures. It also comes in the midst of months-long talks between the Government of Mexican and the Trump administration to avoid widespread tariffs.
Rebate – known as “D Minimis” discount, which allows packages of less than $ 800 to come in US duty free – ends on Friday. According to data from US Customs and Border Protection, a total of 1.36 billion packages were sent under this exemption in 2024 under this discount.
The Mexico government said its postal service, Koros Day Mexico, would temporarily suspend the package delivery in the US starting on Wednesday.
The statement said, “Mexico has continued its dialogue with American authorities and international postal organizations that are meant to define mechanisms that will allow the services to be systematically resumed, providing users certainty and avoiding failures in the distribution of goods.”
With the announcement, Mexico joined many European and other countries including Australia and Japan to suspend the shipment amid the confusion over new import duties.
Mexico has tried to interact with US President Donald Trump to increase the tariff by increasing more aggressive security measures against the country’s drug cartel and sending dozens of imprisonment cartel figures in the US for prosecution.
