Due to changes in US customs rules, India had temporarily suspended postal service to the US from August 25.
The Department of Posts said that the resumption of parcel service is an important milestone in strengthening India’s international postal and export logistics network and reflects the growing role of India Post in supporting the government’s vision of inclusive, export-led economic growth. According to the order issued by the Donald Trump administration on July 30, the exemption from customs duty on goods up to $800 was abolished. Due to this, the Government of India had decided to suspend postal services.
