Overview

  • DHL says postal shipments of goods to the United States for business customers resume on Thursday under a service called Postal Delivered Duty Paid.
  • The company had largely halted regular parcels in August due to new U.S. customs rules, leaving firms with only costlier express options.
  • Customs formalities for the revived postal service are handled by an external provider as required by U.S. regulations.
  • Base postage remains unchanged, but new customs charges apply, with a $50 German‑made item incurring just over $10 in fees and China‑made goods facing higher tariffs.
  • Private senders can still ship declared gifts under $100 duty‑free, while higher‑value consumer parcels continue to move only via express.
