For now, it seems that sailing companies download most of the weights caused by modern trade rules and not all are satisfied with it. In response to the Trump tariffs, two logistics carriers, DHL Hong Kong and Hong Kong Post, announced They will no longer accept individual packages sent to the United States. The owner of a transport company based in Alberta, Canada told Wired that he was planning to pay for his duties from his pocket and then burden customers.
It is expected that the elimination of an exemption free from USD 500 will go to Chinese budget-friendly trade platforms, such as Shein and the most challenging, but many smaller e-commerce sellers also felt a burn. Selling brands Mechanical keyboardsIN underwearAND tea According to screenshots divided into reddit, everyone informed their clients about potential breaks and price increases in response to tariffs.
Miguel Schraeder, the owner of the Canadian accessories company of the Management Board, claims that several of his clients were asked by UPS for payment for high import duties for products produced in China. His company acquires products from Chinese producers, but sends them from Canada. Despite this, they were hit in surprised import duties.
In one example, Schraeder made available with Wired the customer submitted on Friday $ 30 before the announcement of the tariffs, and now he was asked by UPS to pay USD 52.22 for receiving the package, which is over 170 percent of the original price of the item.
He says that until modern tariffs are moving in, he always sent packages to customers without duties. He encouraged his clients to place orders before the last weekend to try to avoid the fee, but was still hit by fees.
Schraeder says that he talked to his ordinary contact at the UPS, who told him that for the same reason hundreds of thousands of packages were kept. “It looks like they don’t have a set system yet to advise it properly,” says Schraeder, referring in particular to the UPS ground shipping system. “They just burden all the equivalent [fees] As if it was an item worth USD 800. Probably that is why people are charged with such high fees for such cheap items … They mentioned that they are looking for it, but they do not promise anything. “
Schraeder expects to lose money from this chaos, because customers may refuse to pay fees for import and return items at the expense of the seller. As a result, he plans to temporarily suspend the US sales.
One of the complicating factors for some owners of petite businesses is that Trump’s tariffs are focused on the original country in which products were produced, which means that it does not matter whether items produced in China have been sitting in another country for years before they reached to the USA. “My problem is that used clothing is often lacking label or illegible,” says Brown, the owner of a clothing company.
Like many other people, Brown claims that his packages were reversed on the US-Tanady border on Tuesday. He may submit an application for a formal entry and try to send products to the USA again, but he claims that it will cost too much money and time. “In the near future I pull all products made in China and place my platforms in holiday mode to prevent sales. This is extreme, but the only truthful choice for my clients – he says.
