Shipping giant DHL announced it would temporarily suspend shipments of items worth $800 or more to private individuals in the United States starting on April 21 due to U.S. customs regulatory changes.

In a statement, the German company said that “we are experiencing multi-day transit delays to the U.S. from any origin for shipments with a declared customs value exceeding” the $800 value and is suspending shipping those items “until further notice.” Shipments under that amount are not affected by the new change.
