Report Thailand Post Suspends US Parcels as Trump Axes Tax Exemption
Picture courtesy of Facebook/The Palladium World Shopping Pratunam Thailand Post has halted all international parcel services to the US following President Trump's abolition of the de minimis tax exemption. Thapanee Amarinrat announced on 21 August that this temporary suspension hits millions of global parcels destined for America. For now, customers can still send packages via Courier Post and to Amazon FBA warehouses. Trump's decision to remove the de minimis threshold, which allowed low-value imports into the US duty-free, has caused logistical chaos. This exemption, previously set at approximately 28,649 Thai Baht ($800) daily per person, enabled the smooth import of small packages. Shipping companies, sellers, and consumers are now facing complicated, pricey compliance challenges with little guidance from US authorities. Global postal operators are already halting US shipments as the policy shift looms, impacting over 4 million daily packages handled by US Customs and Border Protection. Economic Disruption Looms as New Rules Take Hold The rollback of the de minimis exemption threatens to slow the bustling flow of international trade, hitting smaller online retailers hardest. These businesses, reliant on low-cost shipping, must now navigate the murky waters of increased tariffs and paperwork, reported The Nation. Logistics firms, too, are in a scramble to adapt to the new landscape, as procedures grow costly and convoluted. With limited instructions from US federal bodies, confusion and disruption are expected to mount before solutions emerge. Broader Impact on Global Trade Patterns This dramatic policy change reverberates beyond parcel services, signalling a shift in global trade relationships. Trade experts warn of a chain reaction as countries recalibrate their export strategies in response to the US's new stance. The suspension of Thailand Post’s services underscores the immediate effects on consumers and businesses alike. With millions of items caught in the regulatory crosshairs, the international shipping sector faces an evolving challenge. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Nation 2025-08-23 -
