MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico said Wednesday its postal service was suspending package shipments to the United States ahead of an end to the exemption on tariff duties for low-value packages by the Trump administration.

The announcement follows similar moves by postal services from the European Union and several other countries to pause shipping as they await more clarity on the U.S. measure. It also comes amid months-long negotiations between the Mexican government and the Trump administration to avoid wider tariffs.

The exemption — known as the “ de minimis” exemption, which allows packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. duty free — is ending on Friday. A total of 1.36 billion packages were sent in 2024 under this exemption, for goods worth $64.6 billion, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Mexico’s government said its postal service, Correos de Mexico, will temporarily suspend package deliveries to the U.S., starting Wednesday.

“Mexico continues its dialogue with U.S. authorities and international postal organizations 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 statement read.

It’s going to be a long 3-and-change years if someone doesn’t realize that “move fast and break things” is not a good way to run a country.

It’s already been a long 5-years since January!

I have a savegame from 1980 pre-election; I'm Edge of Tomorrow-ing that until Regan doesn't get elected and we see what a world without deregulation and Clinton hollowing out the US with NAFTA looks like.

Whole lot of dipshits think that Taco is just "shaking things up" - and that that is a good thing.

Because something something argle bargle "he's not a politician" and "uniparty" and "at least it's not the status quo".

I know, it's so very fucking stupid. I've heard them say these kinds of things even as Taco has done things that is actively harming them in nearly every way, except they get to watch him "owning the libs".
