The French postal group announced on the 22nd that, affected by the US tariff policy, the group will suspend sending parcels to the United States from the 25th of this month, except for private gift parcels valued at less than 100 euros. US President Trump signed an executive order on July 30th to suspend duty-free treatment for imported parcels valued at 800 US dollars or less starting from August 29th. According to the specific details of the EU-US trade agreement released on the 21st of this month, parcels sent from the EU to the United States, like most EU products exported to the US, will be subject to a 15% tariff. According to French media reports, the French postal service sends an average of 1.6 million parcels to the United States every year, most of which are valued at less than 800 US dollars, and 20% are sent by individuals. Currently, postal institutions in European countries such as Germany, Belgium, Spain, and Austria have announced the suspension of parcel delivery to the United States.
