Australia Post has suspended most postage to the US ahead of new tariffs on low-value parcels, with businesses wanting to ship to American customers now unable to use the government-owned carrier.
Some online retailers had pre-empted issues with sending goods to the US and stopped shipping there in recent weeks, as global postal services described “chaos”.
From Friday, August 29, parcels valued under $US800 ($1,230) imported into the US will attract tariffs or flat fees.
That kinda the current administration’s entire point. For who knows why, but thats what they think everyone wants. Or at least everyone bankrolling them.
It’s almost as if there’s another world power that wouldn’t mind weakening the US and spreading chaos there.
