US Postal Service flip-flops on Hong Kong-China packages, lifting a ban imposed a day earlier

The U.S. Postal Service is reversing course a day after placing a ban on all inbound mail and packages from China and Hong Kong. The postal service announced Tuesday that it would no longer accept parcels from the China and Hong Kong after the U.S. imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods and ended a customs exception that allowed small value parcels to enter the U.S. without paying tax. The Postal Service gave no reason for the reversal Wednesday, but said it would work with Customs and Border Protection to implement a collection process for the new China tariffs to avoid delivery disruptions.
