DHL Express has restarted the shipment of high-value parcels to the US after the country restarted the expedited clearance of packages worth more than US$800.
The express firm suspended the transport of parcels worth more than $800 on April 21 after new US customs regulations were introduced that reduced the threshold for a formal import procedure from $2,500 to $800.
This meant that packages worth more than $800 needed to be customs cleared, creating a 'significant increase' in clearance and workload, according to London's Air Cargo News.
However, the US will now allow shipments valued between $800 and $2,500 to once again be cleared using the expedited informal entry process.
Following the move, dhl Express restarted shipments of parcels worth more than $800 to the country.
However, DHL warned that there could still be transit delays as it navigates the reintroduction of the service and works to clear the current backlog.
'DHL has been actively working to enhance its clearance capabilities and capacity to ensure the continued delivery of reliable service.'
