Royal Mail announces major change from today | UK | News

Royal Mail will stop accepting the parcels to the United States due to the impact of Trump’s new tariffs. From now on, posts will be suspended until a new service with an extra fee is started.

The Royal Mail is not the only postal service operator in Europe. Donald Trump signed an order to engrave a tax exemption that allows the US to enter the US $ 800 or less last month. Exemption will be removed on Friday, August 29th.

New taxes will only be valid for purchased and sold goods; Telegraph, gifts and goods sent between family and friends will be exempted.

The Royal Mail will launch a new service for transportation to the United States and is expected to be available from Thursday. Postal services should comply with new regulations.

The provider will add a 50p transport fee per parcel to cover additional costs to provide cleaning services to the USA.

The BBC said that cards and letters could continue to be published as usual. New tariffs are expected to have a great impact on e-commerce companies and small businesses.

The tariff level will depend on which country the products are sent.

The products from the UK are subject to 10% tariffs, while those from the EU will be hit with a 15% tax.

Royal Mail Spokesperson: uz We are working hard with US officials and international partners to adapt our services to meet the new US minimum requirements in order to ensure that US consumers and enterprises can continue to use our services when they enter into force.

“Consumers who send gifts worth less than $ 100 will not have to pay for.”

The US had so -called minimis exemption in packages up to $ 800, which allowed consumers to buy cheap clothes and household goods from sites such as Shein and Temu without paying import taxes.

However, the customs -free rule on Chinese goods ended in May and is now expanding to the rest of the word.
