The logistics group DHL ends a delivery stop in the USA for valuable packages.
There were constructive conversations with the US COTTAL authorities and other authorities to optimize customs regulations, the company said in Bonn. It was about packages, the value of which has more than $ 800 (currently 703 euros) and who are intended for private individuals.
The United States had reduced the limit for a formal import process from $ 800 to $ 800, which at DHL led to a high additional effort in the discount. The Bonn logistician then stopped the transport in the United States on April 21. Changes to US customs rules that were positive for the company now enable DHL to resume deliveries.
Packages of companies to companies (‘Business to Business’, B2B) and packages of companies to private individuals, whose value is less than $ 800, were not affected by the meantime. Deutsche Post belongs to DHL, under which the domestic letter shop is managed.
