US postal services have been temporarily suspended due to confusion over new customs rules. However, people can still send letters, documents, and gift items worth up to $100. The US government issued an executive order on July 30, 2025, stating that goods valued at more than $100 will attract customs duties starting August 29. Airlines have refused to carry shipments, leading to the suspension of postal services.

Airlines have refused to carry shipments, leading to the suspension of postal services.The executive order aims to streamline customs procedures and reduce the burden on the postal service. However, the sudden change in policy has caused significant disruptions in the delivery of goods. Many businesses and individuals are unable to send or receive packages valued over $100, leading to temporary delays and inconveniences.
The US Postal Service has issued a statement acknowledging the situation and is working with the government to resolve the issue. They have advised customers to send items worth up to $100 to avoid any disruptions. The government has also assured that postal services will resume once the new customs rules are implemented and airlines agree to carry the shipments.
The suspension of postal services is expected to have a temporary impact on the economy, particularly on small businesses that rely on mail services for their operations. However, the long-term effects of the new customs rules remain to be seen.
