DHL suspends some shipments to US
DHL Express is suspending some shipments to the US as Donald Trump's new tariff regime takes effect.
From 21 April, shipments worth more than $800 (£603) to US consumers from "any origin" will be temporarily suspended. New rules that came into effect at the start of April made such shipments subject to increased customs checks.
"This change has caused a surge in formal customs clearances, which we are handling around the clock," said the parcel delivery service. Shipments going from business to business worth more than $800 aren't affected by the suspension, but DHL warned they may also face delays.
Shipments under $800 to either businesses or consumers are not impacted, but one British cycle manufacturer suggested its US customers may need to split orders over $800 into "smaller shipments" to avoid the red tape.
