DHL resumed the delivery of B2C high value goods into the US yesterday (April 28) after the American government lifted its value threshold to $2,500, enabling shipments below this amount to once again be cleared via an expedited informal customs entry process.
The express company had introduced its temporary suspension of B2C shipments with a customs value exceeding $800 on April 21 due to shipping delays resulting from changes in US trade regulations.
The legal changes were introduced on April 5, requiring all shipments to the US with a declared customs value over $800 to undergo formal entry processing – down from the previous $2,500 threshold.
