Australia Post suspends postal services to the US
Posted: 26 Aug 2025, 07:50
This is unprecedented but not unexpected, Australia Post has suspended postal services to the US.
The removal of the deminimis rule on US imports without a plan for how to deal with it is a logistical disaster, there is no way postal systems around the world are ready or even interested in managing this. If the US wants to tax it's citizens it is clearly a matter for the USPS to deal with and not the exporting country.
Today I received this notice from Australia post.
