Please note that as a result of the recently introduced changes to the import tariff requirements set out in US Executive Order 14324, Australia Post has joined a number of international postal operators to temporarily suspend partial postal services to the United States (US) and Puerto Rico, effective immediately until further notice.
This decision has been made to ensure compliance with the new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements. Specifically, the requirement for duties and taxes to be prepaid on all shipments prior to their arrival in the US. The key changes are as follows:
1. Suspension of the de minimis USD$800 threshold exemption.
2. New mandatory customs declaration requirements.
3. Duties for imported goods to be collected prior to goods entering the US.
