In an effort to navigate \u00a0changing international trade dynamics\u00a0, Correos has announced the suspension of package admissions destined for the \u00a0USA\u00a0 and \u00a0Puerto Rico\u00a0 starting August 25. This decision particularly affects packages with a commercial value of \u00a0$800\u00a0 or less, which previously benefited from the \u00a0‘de minimis’ regime\u00a0 exemption.<\/p>\n

The recent change is a direct response to new customs regulations set forth by the United States, which terminate the exemption from \u00a0tariff payments\u00a0 that had been available for low-value incoming shipments. According to Correos’ statement, the deadline for admitting this type of shipment will be until \u00a0Sunday, August 24\u00a0 at \u00a011:59 PM\u00a0.<\/p>\n

For future shipments directed to U.S. territories or Puerto Rico, effective \u00a0August 29\u00a0, all merchandise will be subject to \u00a0tariffs\u00a0. The specific amount will vary depending on the \u00a0country of origin\u00a0 and the value of the product shipped. This new regulation has already forced Correos, along with other postal operators like \u00a0DHL\u00a0, to significantly alter their operational processes and impose stricter shipping controls to comply with the new requirements.<\/p>\n

The impact of this shift is expected to be \u00a0significant\u00a0 on both international postal logistics and overall \u00a0e-commerce flows\u00a0. However, Correos has reassured that there will be no changes to the sending of letters, documents without commercial value, books, and gifts valued at \u00a0$100\u00a0 or less, which will continue without modification.<\/p>\n

This announcement follows a handshake agreement reached on \u00a0July 27\u00a0 between the president of the \u00a0European Commission\u00a0 and U.S. President \u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0, which, for the time being, has managed to stave off a potential commercial war between the United States and the European Union. Under this agreement, the U.S. will impose a \u00a015% tariff\u00a0 on numerous European imports, while Brussels has pledged to increase imports of American energy and military goods.<\/p>\n

The new minimum 10% tariffs that the United States has imposed on global imports have entered into force this Thursday, August 7, according to the executive order signed by the US President, Donald Trump and released last week by the White House.

Despite the establishment of that initial agreement, numerous uncertainties remain regarding the implications for specific sectors, including \u00a0semiconductors\u00a0 and *medicines*, both currently exempt from tariffs. The future status of these categories hinges on the outcomes of a national security review ordered by Trump.<\/p>\n

Teams from both sides have been working on establishing “zero by zero” tariffs on a range of \u00a0strategic products\u00a0, which include all planes and their components, certain chemicals, specific agricultural items, and essential natural resources. Additionally, the EU attempted to negotiate exemptions for \u00a0wines and liquors\u00a0, but these products will ultimately be affected by the \u00a015% tariff\u00a0 in the U.S. market.<\/p>\n

One notable concession achieved by the EU was reducing tariffs on European cars from \u00a025% to 15%\u00a0, contingent upon the approval of a regulation to eliminate all tariffs on American industrial products, as well as specific fishing and agricultural goods. In light of this agreement, Brussels has committed to swift implementation.<\/p>\n
