Swiss Post to temporarily suspend goods consignments to US

ZURICH (Reuters) -Swiss Post said on Monday it would from Tuesday temporarily suspend accepting goods consignments to the United States due to new U.S. customs regulations.

"Swiss Post is working on solutions to ensure goods consignments can be shipped again as soon as possible," it said in a statement, noting that the new U.S. regulations were affecting postal services worldwide.

The news comes after U.S. President Donald Trump's administration said last month it would suspend the global "de minimis" exemption, which also allows minimal paperwork, for international shipments under $800, effective August 29.
