Earlier, the postal department had banned gift items priced above $ 100 i.e. 8700 rupees from August 25.
The Indian Postal Department has stopped all types of postal service for America due to ambiguity in the new rules of the Customs Department of America. This includes letters, documents and gift items up to $ 100. Earlier, the postal department had banned gift items priced above $ 100 i.e. 8700 rupees from August 25.
The department said on Sunday that till the situation is not clear and the airlines are not ready to take the post parcel going to America, this ban will continue. The postal department said,
Those who have already made booking but could not be sent, they can take the postage refund. We are keeping an eye on the situation and efforts are being made to restore service as soon as possible.
In fact, all international postal goods going to America from August 29 are reading the country-particular International Emergency Economic Power Act (IEEPA) according to the tariff structure. No matter how much they cost.
Earlier goods up to 70 thousand rupees were duty free
However, gift items priced up to $ 100 (about Rs 8,700) will still be exempted from duty, but the rules are also not clear for this. Earlier, goods up to $ 800 i.e. about 70 thousand rupees were duty free.
Understand the whole matter in question and answer here …
Question 1: Why is postal service being closed from India to America?
answer: The Trump administration issued an executive order (number 14324) on July 30, under which the duty-free exemption given on goods worth $ 800 (about 70 thousand rupees) will be abolished from 29 August 2025.
After this, all the postal items going to America, no matter how their cost, will be charged by custom duty. This duty will be done according to the country-specific International Emergency Economic Power Act (IEEEPA) tariff structure.
Because of this, the postal department has closed the booking of gift items above $ 100 for the US from August 25 as a temperament and now has decided to close all types of postal services as Temperary.
Question 2: Will all types of postal service be closed now?
answer: Yes, now all types of postal service have been closed. Earlier, booking of gift items above only $ 100 was banned from August 25. Because of this, letters or documents and gift items worth up to $ 100 were being booked till now. But now no parcel will be booked.
Question 3: What is the problem in implementing this new rule?
answer: American Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued some guidelines on August 15, but many essential rules related to duty collecting and depositing process and qualified parties (which items can be sent) are not yet clear. Because of this, the air carriers going to America had said that they would not be able to accept postal goods after August 25, as they do not have technical operations.
Question 4: What will happen to customers who have already booked goods?
answer: If someone has already booked postal goods and now he cannot be sent to America, then they can apply for the return of their postal payment. The Department of Posts has regretted the inconvenience caused to the customers and assured that it is making every effort to restore the entire services as soon as possible.
Question 5: How long will this stop?
answer: This is a temporary suspension, but the postal department did not say how long it will last. He is monitoring the situation and as soon as clean guidelines are received from America, efforts will be made to resume services.
