Germany's DHL to resume US-bound business parcel service from Thursday

BERLIN (Reuters) -Germany's DHL will resume the shipment of standard parcels for businesses to the United States from Thursday, roughly four weeks after suspending the service over looming U.S. customs duties for low-value packages.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration said in late July that it would suspend the global "de minimis" exemption, which also allows minimal paperwork, for international shipments under $800, effective August 29.

DHL said in a statement on Tuesday that though prices for business customer packages remained stable, additional costs for customs clearance and duties would now apply to all shipments except private gifts valued under $100.
