The logistics giant cites increased administrative burdens from a lowered U.S. de minimis threshold as the reason for the suspension, while business shipments and lower-value parcels remain unaffected.

Overview

  • DHL has suspended private parcel deliveries to the U.S. valued over $800 as a temporary measure to manage customs processing challenges.
  • The suspension follows the U.S. lowering its de minimis threshold for formal customs entry from $2,500 to $800 earlier this year.
  • The new threshold has significantly increased the administrative workload for carriers handling higher-value shipments.
  • DHL continues to deliver business-to-business shipments and private parcels valued under $800 to minimize disruptions.
  • The company has not specified when it plans to lift the suspension, stating the move is aimed at addressing immediate logistical pressures.
