Australia Post to stop shipping some parcels to the United States

27 August 2025

Australia’s primary provider of postal services, Australia Post, has suspended delivery of “low-value parcels” to the United States, on account of tariffs imposed by the US government.

Packages with a value of less than eight-hundred dollars (US), will be subject to tariffs as of Friday 29 August 2025. The move will be a blow to businesses, particularly smaller operators, who sell items online to global customers.

Australia Post will continue to ship letters, documents, and gifts valued at less than one-hundred-and-fifty dollars though. I assume these gifts will be exempt from any tariffs.
