Trump’s New Customs Rule Just Got Your International Packages Banned

Trump’s New Customs Rule Just Got Your International Packages Banned

DHL just announced it’s halting shipments to the U.S. for anything worth more than $800—and it’s all thanks to Trump’s latest customs crackdown.

For now, packages under $800 can still make it through.
But here’s the kicker:
Trump’s team wants to kill the $800 de minimis loophole entirely—dropping the limit to zero.

And once that happens?
DHL says it’ll stop all shipments to the U.S.
Even tiny ones.

Why does this matter?
Because DHL isn't just a random shipping option—it’s the only option in many parts of the world.
UPS and FedEx don’t reach everywhere DHL does.

So if you're a small business importing parts from Asia or Europe?
Congrats—you're now screwed.

This isn’t about protecting American jobs.
It’s about sabotaging global supply chains with a Sharpie and a press release.

And the wildest part?
It’s going to hurt American buyers more than anyone else.

Tariffs didn’t fix inflation.
This won’t either.
It’ll just make everything harder to get and more expensive to buy.
