DHL Express, a division of Germany’s Deutsche Post, said it would suspend global business-to-consumer shipments worth over $800 to individuals in the United States from April 21, as U.S. customs regulatory changes have lengthened clearance.
The notice on the company website was not dated, but its metadata showed it was compiled on Saturday.
DHL blamed the halt on new U.S. customs rules which require formal entry processing on all shipments worth over $800. The minimum had been $2,500 until a change on April 5.
Fine. Enjoy free trade and your free society.
I’ll enjoy my…. Dystopian nightmare
I keep having flashbacks to scenes from the series “Years and Years”. Anyone who has seen the first season at least knows what I’m talking about. The US in that world became more authoritarian and pulled away from the rest of the world, so it was more of a background and not heard much about. Until they did things. Given how the UK (where the show’s setting was) was more progressive and open in many ways and yet still got very ugly, I can’t even imagine what the unseen US was like.
