Asked 3 hours ago

Answer

Several European countries, including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, and India, are suspending most postal shipments to the US due to changes in US import tariff rules and the expiration of a duty-free exemption for low-value packages. Belgium has already stopped shipments, and the UK will follow soon.
