The US Postal Service (USPS) says it has stopped accepting parcels from mainland China and Hong Kong until further notice, the BBC reports.
Letters will not be affected by the suspension, according to a statement on the company’s website.
USPS did not offer a reason for the decision but it comes after US President Donald Trump imposed an additional 10% tariff on all goods imported to the US from China.
Trump’s executive order also eliminated an exemption that allowed goods worth $800 (£641) or less to enter the US without having to pay duties or certain taxes.
