Overview

• Correos de México suspended outbound postal and parcel deliveries to the United States starting Aug. 27 as it waits for operational guidance.
• Executive Order 14324 takes effect Aug. 29, eliminating the $800 de minimis exemption so every incoming package to the U.S. will be subject to import taxes.
• At least 25 countries have paused similar shipments, according to the Universal Postal Union, reflecting a broad operational reset across the global postal network.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum said service will restart once the U.S. defines how it will collect the tax, noting airlines have hesitated to carry affected consignments due to uncertainty.
• Private express carriers such as DHL Express and UPS continue urgent services but will apply the new tariffs, and some senders report returns and refunds from halted postal consignments.
