NIPOST Imposes $80 Customs Duty on US-Bound Items, Effective Immediately

NIPOST imposed an $80 customs duty on all US-bound items, effective August 29, 2025. This new levy applies to postal items except letters and documents.

The move aligns with an Executive Order suspending exemptions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. NIPOST assured customers of continued reliable postal services despite potential delays due to stricter measures.

The agency is working with international partners to minimize disruptions in cargo shipments. This adjustment aims to enhance customs compliance and revenue generation for the postal service.
