UK Royal Mail posted this yesterday:

Postal services around the world are pausing some deliveries to the US over confusion around new import taxes that must be paid on parcels from the end of the month.

Postal services, including Royal Mail and Germany's DHL, said they would suspend deliveries until they had proper systems in place to deal with the new rules.

Royal Mail said it was withdrawing its current US export services for businesses from Tuesday, but added it hoped to have a new system up and running within two days to allow it to comply with the new rules before they kick in.

Once UK Royal Mail are back operating, I will then expore how I amend my pricing structure. It is unlikely that UK Royal Mail will collect tax for a foreign government for free. Replacing the postal bands, adding tariffs and applying any "handling" fees levied by UK Royal Mail will take many hours for a one man operation.

A sad day indeed. During Trump's last term, he withdrew from the international postage agreement causing a typical £15 shipping price soar to £25 for orders to the USA. That was bad for business. I can only guess as to how the new charges will affect things.
