• DHL Express, a division of Deutsche Post, announced a temporary suspension of global business-to-consumer shipments valued over $800 to the United States, effective April 21. This decision is a direct response to new U.S. customs regulations that require formal entry processing for shipments exceeding the previous threshold of $2,500. The company indicated that while business-to-business shipments are not suspended, they may still experience delays due to the increased customs processing times.

• The suspension comes amid a surge in customs clearance demands since the new regulations were implemented on April 5, 2025. DHL has stated that shipments under $800 are unaffected by these changes. The company is working to assist customers in adapting to the new customs rules, which are expected to take effect on May 2. This situation reflects broader challenges in the logistics sector, particularly concerning international shipping and customs compliance.
