According to media sources, Department of Posts under the Ministry of Communications has decided to temporarily suspend all postal articles to the US from 25th of August. The decision came following an Executive Order by the US government under which the duty-free exemption for goods valued up to 800 dollars will be withdrawn with effect from 29th of August. Ministry of Communications said in a release that all international postal items destined for the US, regardless of their value, shall be subject to customs duties as per the country-specific International Emergency Economic Power Act tariff framework. However, gift items up to 100 dollars shall continue to remain exempt from duties.
Department of Posts is closely monitoring the evolving situation in coordination with all stakeholders, and every effort is being made to normalize services at the earliest possible opportunity. Customers who have already booked articles that cannot be dispatched to the US due to these circumstances can seek a refund of postage. The Department of Posts has expressed regret at the inconvenience caused to customers.
