Australia Post halts most parcel postage to US as tariff chaos hits global carriers [View all]

Australia Post has immediately suspended most postage to the United States, with only the delivery of letters, documents and gifts worth less than $150 continuing.

The postal service has taken the extraordinary step to halt many forms of postage to the US, as a Trump administration tariff on low-value parcels is due to come into effect within days.

Australian businesses selling to American customers will be blocked from shipping to the US via Australia Post from today.

The government-owned postal service joins other global carriers in taking this step, ahead of new levies beginning on Friday, August 29.
