U.S. bans Huawei, Hikvision equipment, citing security risks ahead of Trump - Xi meet
The United States has announced a fresh ban on new telecommunications equipment from several major Chinese companies, including Huawei and Hikvision....
Mexico’s postal service, Correos de México, has temporarily halted package deliveries to the United States as the exemption on low-value tariffs, known as the “de minimis” exemption, is set to end on Friday.
The exemption allows packages worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free. In 2024, 1.36 billion packages valued at $64.6 billion were sent under this rule, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The suspension follows similar pauses by postal services in the European Union and other countries, amid confusion over the Trump administration’s new tariff measures. Mexico said it continues to negotiate with U.S. authorities and international postal organisations to resume shipments in an orderly manner.
“Mexico continues its dialogue with U.S. authorities and international postal organisations to define mechanisms that will allow for the orderly resumption of services, providing certainty to users and avoiding setbacks in the delivery of goods,” the government statement said.
The move comes after months of negotiations between Mexico and the U.S. aimed at avoiding broader tariffs, including discussions on more aggressive action against drug cartels and sending imprisoned cartel figures to the U.S. for prosecution.
Mexico joins countries including Australia, Japan, and members of the EU in pausing deliveries while awaiting clarification on the new import duties.
