Australia's postal service said on Tuesday (August 26, 2025) it had temporarily suspended parcel shipments to the United States after President Donald Trump's administration decided to scrap a customs tax rule that allowed low-value packages to enter duty free.

The Australian government-owned Australia Post's move comes after several European and Asian carriers, including Swiss Post and DHL, which runs Germany's postal service Deutsche Post, Japan Post and Korea Post paused shipments to the United States because of the new rules.
