Gifts worth less than $150, letters and documents exempted from new rule which will affect most businesses selling to US customers
Australia Post has temporarily halted some postage to the United States and Puerto Rico, effective immediately and until further notice.
The change is a response to US president Donald Trump’s tariff regime and changes to customs rules for parcels. Until now, low-value packages en route to the US were subject to what’s known as “de minimis” treatment, which allowed parcels worth less than US$800 to enter the country duty-free.
