Investing.com -- DHL Parcel will resume shipping goods from Germany to the USA and Puerto Rico for business customers starting Wednesday, after a four-week suspension.
The Post & Parcel Germany division of DHL Group is among the first postal service providers worldwide to restart this service following new U.S. customs regulations that took effect August 29.
Business customers can use DHL Parcel International for USA shipments again, but must book the ’Postal Delivered Duty Paid’ (PDDP) service for items valued up to $800 and provide complete customs data.
The PDDP service costs €2 per shipment, with additional fees from the "Qualified Party" service provider and customs duties passed on to business customers without markup. While parcel prices remain stable, these external costs will apply.
The new regulations removed the previous $800 duty-free threshold. Only private gifts valued under $100 remain exempt from duties.
Business customers must now provide complete customs information including tariff numbers and country of origin for each item. The changes only affect DHL Parcel brand products, not other DHL divisions like Express or eCommerce.
Private customer shipments declared as gifts valued under $100 aren’t affected by the new regulations, though these will face increased monitoring to prevent misuse for commercial shipping. Document shipping in letters also remains unchanged.
The suspension occurred when the U.S. Executive Order "Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for all Countries" created unresolved questions that forced major postal companies worldwide to temporarily halt goods shipping to the USA.
