Overview

• Hongkong Post has stopped accepting sea mail shipments to the US immediately and will suspend air mail shipments starting April 27.
• The suspension targets postal items containing goods, while mail with only documents remains unaffected.
• The move is a response to recent US tariff measures, including the removal of the de minimis exemption for goods under $800 and increased fees for postal items.
• US tariffs on Chinese goods have reached 145%, with China imposing retaliatory tariffs of 125%, intensifying the trade conflict.
• Hongkong Post has criticized the US actions as 'unreasonable' and 'bullying,' stating it will not collect tariffs on behalf of the US.
