German-based global parcel service DHL Group announced on Aug. 22 that it would temporarily suspend the delivery of business customer parcels to the United States due to the new customs regulations under President Donald Trump’s de minimis executive order set to come into effect on Aug. 29.

“After Aug. 22, Deutsche Post and DHL Parcel Germany will no longer be able to accept and transport parcels and postal items containing goods from business customers destined for the U.S.,” said DHL.
