FRANKFURT, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Germany's postal giant DHL announced on Tuesday that it will resume parcel deliveries from Germany to the United States for business customers this Thursday, ending a four-week suspension triggered by new U.S. customs rules.
DHL's Post & Parcel Germany unit, along with other postal providers, halted shipments at the end of August, citing stricter requirements for detailed customs data and upfront duty payments. The suspension followed a change in U.S. customs regulations that effectively abolished the long-standing "de minimis" rule, which had allowed duty-free imports of goods worth up to 800 U.S. dollars.
