Postal traffic to the United States has dropped by over 80% following the termination of the De Minimis agreement, which provided discounted shipping rates for international mail. The sudden rise in shipping costs has led to a dramatic reduction in international shipments, sparking fears that rising postal costs could be a form of political censorship.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS), already facing budget challenges, is now contending with the effects of this policy change. While some view the rise in shipping costs as a necessary adjustment, others are concerned that it could slow down international communication and trade. As rates climb, businesses and consumers alike are left to navigate the consequences of this shift in global mail dynamics.
