The Grenada Postal Corporation (GPC) announces the temporary suspension of all parcels and small package shipments containing goods to the United States, effective immediately.
This action follows the US Government’s Executive Order 14324, which eliminates the long-standing duty-free exemption (de minimis) of US$800 on shipments entering the United States.
Beginning 29 August 2025, all goods entering the US will be subject to customs duties from the first dollar.
Key impact for customers:
- All parcels and small packages containing goods to the US are suspended
- Only documents (letter mail without goods) will continue to be accepted
- Senders must now prepay customs duties, shifting responsibility from the recipients.
- Every shipment must be pre-filed electronically with US Customs, using their new documentation requirements
This unprecedented change has created global disruptions: postal operators across Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean are similarly suspending services due to unresolved aspects of these new requirements.
Next steps:
- GPC is actively working with the Universal Postal Union and international partners to develop compliant solutions
- GPC remains committed to restoring parcel services to the US as soon as operationally feasible
Message to customers:
GPC deeply regrets the inconvenience caused by this suspension but emphasises that the action is necessary to ensure compliance with US regulations and to protect customers from disruptions.
