Brick Technology Ensures Smooth Shipping to the USA

Castelnaudary, France / UK – 8 September 2025

In a move that changes the game for global e-commerce, the United States has ended its “de minimis” tariff exemption as of 29 August 2025. Previously, parcels under US $800 entered the U.S. duty-free with minimal paperwork. Now, all shipments, regardless of value or origin, face duties and taxes. The Washington PostAxios Postal packages either face a 10 % to 50 % tariff based on country of origin or a flat fee between $80 and $200, depending on tariff levels. The Washington PostAP NewsPwC

This abrupt change has triggered international shipping chaos. Global postal traffic to the U.S. plummeted by over 80 %, with 88 postal services, including those in Germany, France, and Mexico, suspending U.S. deliveries. The Washington PostAP News

Despite the disruption, there is no reason to stop shipping to the U.S. Brick Technology has acted fast to shield clients from uncertainty.
