DHL resumes US business parcel shipments Thursday after a pause due to new US customs rules affecting low-value packages.
BERLIN (Reuters) -Germany's DHL will resume the shipment of standard parcels for businesses to the United States from Thursday, roughly four weeks after suspending the service over looming U.S. customs duties for low-value packages.
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration said in late July that it would suspend the global "de minimis" exemption, which also allows minimal paperwork, for international shipments under $800, effective August 29.
DHL said in a statement on Tuesday that though prices for business customer packages remained stable, additional costs for customs clearance and duties would now apply to all shipments except private gifts valued under $100.

Customs clearance is the process of passing goods through customs so they can enter or leave a country. It involves documentation and payment of duties and taxes.
A parcel service is a company that delivers packages and parcels to customers. These services can include standard shipping, express delivery, and international shipping.
