DHL will restart global shipments of over $800 to US consumers

DHL will resume global shipments from businesses to American consumers worth more than $800 after a “constructive dialogue” with US authorities, the company said Monday.

Earlier this month, DHL temporarily suspended business-to-consumer (B2C) shipments of that customs value to the United States, starting from April 21 and until further notice.

The reason for the suspension was a new US requirement that all shipments to the country valued above $800 be formally processed for entry, down from the previous threshold of $2,500, the company said at the time. “This change has caused a surge in formal customs clearances, which we are handling around the clock,” it noted.

“Adjustments to US customs regulations will allow DHL to resume accepting B2C shipments with a declared value exceeding $800 into the US,” DHL said in a statement Monday. The resumption is effective immediately.
