Aus Post restarts business deliveries to USA after the tariff pause.

Australia Post says it’s getting back to business with the United States after a short suspension caused by tariffs introduced under former US president Donald Trump.

From September 25, postal services to the US and its territories — including Puerto Rico, Guam and the US Virgin Islands — will resume. Business customers will again be able to send parcels after weeks of disruption.

The restart comes thanks to a new partnership with Zonos, one of the few providers approved by US Customs and Border Protection and the Universal Postal Union to meet the latest postal rules.

Australia Post was one of nearly 200 global postal providers forced to halt US deliveries when Trump’s customs and tariff changes came into effect.

Gary Starr, Executive General Manager of Parcels, Post & eCommerce, said customers had borne the brunt of the suspension.

“The real impact has been on exporters relying on our cost-effective service,” he explained. “We’ve been working around the clock to find a solution and get services back up and running as quickly as possible.”

Starr added the suspension will be officially lifted on September 25, but if things can move faster, they’ll reopen sooner. Australia Post is also developing a separate solution so parcels can once again be sent via its post office network.

For now, gifts under $US100 ($A151), as well as letters and documents, remain exempt from the tariffs.

The federal government has already voiced its disappointment with the Trump administration’s measures, saying it will keep pushing to remove trade barriers that hurt Australian exporters.
