The Government of the United States (US) announced earlier that it would eliminate the duty-free de minimis treatment for postal items despatched from Hong Kong to the US and increase the tariffs for postal items containing goods to the US starting from May 2. The US is unreasonable, bullying and imposing tariffs abusively. Hongkong Post will definitely not collect any so-called tariffs on behalf of the US and will suspend the acceptance of postal items containing goods destined to the US.

Regarding the surface mail, due to the longer shipping time, Hongkong Post will suspend the acceptance of surface postal items containing goods destined to the US with immediate effect (April 16). Where senders have posted surface postal items containing goods that have not yet been shipped to the US, Hongkong Post will contact the senders to arrange for return of items and postage refund starting from April 22.

Regarding the air mail, Hongkong Post will suspend the acceptance of air postal items containing goods destined to the US starting from April 27.

For sending items to the US, the public in Hong Kong should be prepared to pay exorbitant and unreasonable fees due to the US's unreasonable and bullying acts. Other postal items containing documents only without goods will not be affected.

美國政府早前宣布由五月二日起取消香港寄往美國貨品的小額免稅安排，並調高付運美國而內載貨品的郵件需繳納的關稅。美方霸凌無理，濫施關稅，香港郵政絕不會代收所謂關稅，並會暫停接收寄往美國而內載貨品的郵件。

平郵方面，由於海運時間較長，香港郵政會由即日（四月十六日）起暫停接收內載貨品的平郵郵件。如市民之前曾投寄內載貨品的平郵郵件而又未能付運往美國，香港郵政會聯絡寄件人，於四月二十二日起安排退件及退款。

空郵方面，香港郵政將於四月二十七日起暫停接收內載貨品的空郵郵件。

寄件往美國的香港市民需有心理準備要就美方霸凌無理的行為因而要繳付高昂和不合理的費用。其他只內載文件而沒有貨品的郵件則不受影響。
