PHLPost suspends shipping of packages to US
September 4, 2025
The Philippine Postal Corp. (PHLPost) suspended starting on Aug. 28 all shipments going to the United States after the Trump administration abolished a rule that allows packages valued at $800 or less to enter the US duty-free, effective Aug. 29.
PHLPost said in a Facebook post that customers may retrieve or seek a refund for items already lodged.
Due to the Trump order, US-bound packages are now subject to the tarif level applicable to their country of origin, or a specific duty ranging from $80 to $200 per item.
