On Tuesday , the USPS stopped accepting all inbound packages from Hong Kong and China .

The move came after the Trump administration imposed new tariffs on China that eliminated a loophole allowing low-value Chinese packages into the US duty-free.

The USPS reversed the temporary policy on Wednesday morning , clarifying that the USPS and Customs and Border Protection "are working closely together to implement an efficient collection mechanism".
