Hongkong Post, a semi -independent Chinese post service for the city, will not deal with packages from the United States or directed to the United States amid a growing trade war.
In a statement published on Wednesday (15) in China, the decision was announced, the Hong Kong government killed US President Donald Trump last week to get rid of the exception of the so -called “minimum” mail materials of the United States to the United States.
“The United States is irrational and frightening and imposing offensive tariffs,” the government said in the statement. “The audience in Hong Kong should be ready to pay exorbitant and irrational rates due to the illogical and delicate acts of the United States.”
The Hong Kong government said in a statement on Wednesday that the postal service will no longer accept the packages that the naval transported with an immediate impact and will not accept the packages that are transported by air as of April 27.
On April 8, Trump signed a decree that the three -pricing rates on products are less than $ 800 were sent from China, including Hong Kong. Currently, beams are exempted less than $ 800 from definitions through this exemption.
Initially, these products should experience 30 % of May 2. But Trump’s latest decree increased to 120 % of its prices last week (or the cost of “postal item” from $ 100 from May 2, which rises to $ 200 on June 1).
This will affect Americans who buy sites such as Shein, Temu and Aliexpress, and may lead to high prices of products.
