Breaking News: Global Mail Services Hit the Brakes!
In a shocking twist, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) revealed that a whopping 88 postal operators have thrown in the towel, suspending their services to the U.S. entirely! What’s fueling this chaos?

Unprecedented Drop: 81% Traffic Decline!
Injustices abound as reports show that mail traffic from 192 countries has plummeted 81% compared to the previous week! Airlines are waving the red flag, refusing to take on the customs duty collection, and foreign postal operators are left scrambling to comply with this bureaucratic minefield.
Criminals and Loopholes: The Administration’s Bold Claim!
The Trump administration insists this drastic move targets foreign businesses exploiting loopholes and curbs the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S. But, with the de minimis exemption around since 1938, is this really the solution or just a recipe for postal disaster?
Gift Givers and Souvenir Shoppers: Relief at a Price!
Don’t fret completely, U.S. residents! Gifts valued up to $100 and personal souvenirs worth up to $200 are still safe for now. But shop wisely, because everything else is about to go through a rigorous customs vetting process!
