Australia Post Halts US Transit Shipping Amid Trump Tariff Chaos
2025-08-21
Australia Post is suspending some shipping to the US due to upcoming Trump administration tariffs causing widespread disruption to postal networks and retailers globally. This means goods from other countries can no longer transit through Australia to the US. The suspension comes as the US ends its 'de minimis' exemption, adding tariffs to low-value imports. E-commerce businesses are facing confusion, and many postal operators are scrambling to adapt. Other countries are also halting shipments to the US, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the tariff changes. Australia Post is exploring using third-party providers to handle the new duties.
