In a surprising move, Mexico has suspended postal shipments to the United States after Washington rolled out a new tariff policy on all international packages, regardless of their value. 📦🛑
Mexico isn’t alone—dozens of countries have made similar decisions, pushing back against the U.S.’s blanket tariffs. This means everything from birthday surprises to startup orders are stuck in limbo. 🎂🚫📦
For young entrepreneurs and small businesses, this pause is a major headache: orders for handcrafted goods, artisanal snacks, and other niche products can’t cross the border. It’s a reminder that global trade can shift overnight. 💼🌎
Under the new rule, packages shipped to the U.S. face extra fees—even if they’re worth less than a coffee run. Consumers and sellers on both sides are feeling the squeeze, and some are exploring private couriers for speedier delivery, albeit at a higher cost. 💸📬
As talks between Mexico and the United States continue, many are hoping for a speedy solution to get the mail moving again. Until then, patience is the name of the game. ⏳✉️
