Just received notification from Australia Post:
’As a result of the recently introduced changes to the import tariff requirements set out in US Executive Order 14324, Australia Post has joined a number of international postal operators to temporarily suspend partial postal services to the United States (US) and Puerto Rico, effective immediately until further notice.
This decision has been made to ensure compliance with the new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements. Specifically, the requirement for duties and taxes to be prepaid on all shipments prior to their arrival in the US. The key changes are as follows:
|
1. |
Suspension of the de minimis USD$800 threshold exemption. |
|
2. |
New mandatory customs declaration requirements. |
|
3. |
Duties for imported goods to be collected prior to goods entering the US. |
‘
Until technical changes are implemented by the postage carrier here, I am unable to accept or ship new orders to the US, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
Key change is the requirement that duties are payable prior to dispatch, and Australia Post is yet to implement a system to support that key functionality.
Until this system has been established by Australia Post, they will not accept lodgement of commercial articles for shipment to the USA.
This is an unfortunate, and unexpected change, and I will have to wait and see if I am able to continue shipping to the USA, once the new system has been implemented, and I have a chance to evaluate it and how I can adopt/integrate the new system.
I have disabled checkout for all USA customers, and no new orders from USA will be accepted during this suspension.
Thank you for your patience, apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Questions and feedback always welcome.
