尊敬的客户:

您好!

依据美国白宫及海关公告，自美东时间2026年2月24日凌晨00:01起，美国将终止依据美国《国际紧急经济权力法》(IEEPA)加征的对等关税和“芬太尼”关税。其中对原产于中国(包括香港，澳门特别行政区)的商品取消加征10%“对等关税”和10%“芬太尼”关税；同时引用美国《1974贸易法案》第122条款，自美东时间2026年2月24日凌晨00:01起对全球进口美国的商品加征10%临时关税，有效期为150天 。

为响应政策变动，我司现对美国流向不包税产品关税预收策略进行如下调整，请您知悉并提前做好货物安排：

✷北京时间2025年2月25日零时起开单扣费的中国始发美国流向的货物，预收固定税率由35%调整为25%；维持原有"不退不补、不提供税单"。

✷请您留意如实填写货物信息，包括但不限于品名、金额、数量、目的国HS Code、重量等信息，并保证申报信息的真实性、准确性和完整性；我们将持续关注相关政策动态，有任何进展或调整将及时更新。

香港DHL渠道美国邮编32和33以及34开头的邮编申报都需要提供交易证明（客户务必确保真实）才能接收托运，无法确认后果自负出货。否则香港DHL会拒收。另外强烈建议客户托运美国32-34开头邮编的货物选择我司UPS或者联邦渠道出货。

For shipments via Hong Kong DHL to US zip codes starting with 32, 33, or 34, a transaction proof (customers must ensure authenticity) is required for declaration and acceptance. If this cannot be confirmed, shipment is at your own risk. Otherwise, Hong Kong DHL will refuse to accept the shipment. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that customers shipping to US zip codes starting with 32-34 use our UPS or FedEx channels instead.

Shipping Hold Notification (Effective April 23rd, 2025)

  • Affected Services (US Routes): PFCEX, PFCEXB, PFCEXPRESS, EURPOST, PFCGL, USPST.
  • Shipment Hold: Starting April 23rd, 2025, shipments using the affected services destined for the United States will be temporarily held in our warehouse.
  • Reason for Hold: This measure is taken in anticipation of new US customs tariff regulations expected to be finalized on May 2nd, 2025.
  • Dispatch Schedule: Held shipments will be dispatched after May 2nd, once the new tariff details are confirmed and implemented.
  • Customs Fees: Please note that customs duties and clearance processing fees were not pre-collected for shipments dispatched via these services on or after April 23rd. After the new tariffs are finalized on May 2nd, any applicable fees will be assessed and collected retrospectively, if necessary, before the final dispatch of the goods.
  • Customer Communication: We kindly request that you communicate this temporary hold to your customers. Shipping immediately carries a higher risk of customs inspections in the destination country, potentially leading to delays ranging from two weeks to a month. Holding the shipments in the warehouse during this transition period is considered a safer approach to minimize potential inspection-related delays.

U.S. Customs Requirements Across Different Shipping Channels (as of 2025-04-16)

This post summarizes the U.S. customs requirements detailed in the provided shipping channel documents. A key update across all channels is the cancellation of the 800 USD de minimis threshold, meaning all goods may be subject to tariffs.

Common Requirements (Repeated Across All Documents):

  • Tariff Policy Change: The U.S. government issued an executive order on February 1, 2025, increasing tariffs on all goods from China by 10%, effective February 4, 2025. The 800 USD tariff exemption is no longer in effect.
  • Accurate Information is Crucial: Shippers are responsible for providing truthful and complete cargo information, including product name, amount, quantity, destination country HS Code, and weight. Consequences of inaccurate information (detention, delays, confiscation, supplementary taxes, fines) are borne by the sender.
  • MID Code: The Manufacturer Identification Code (MID) is essential for US customs declaration. It serves as a substitute for the manufacturer's/shipper's/exporter's full name and address.
  • MID Code Generation:
    1. Country Code: Two-letter ISO code of the supplier's country (e.g., GB for the United Kingdom).
    2. Company Name: First three letters of the first two "words" in the company name. If no clear word separation, use the first six letters.
    3. Address Number: Largest number from the address line (up to four digits).
    4. City Name: First three letters of the city name.
  • MID Code Example:
    • Company Name: ABC Company
    • Address: 236 Wendell Ford Blvd, Ste 1304
    • City: Erlanger
    • Country: United States
    • MID Code: USABC236ERL
  • MID Code Precautions: The MID Code must be accurate. Provincial codes may be needed for some cases (e.g., Canada). The largest number in the address should be selected.
  • HS Code: Provide accurate product names, ingredients, and HS Codes.
  • US HS Code query website: htps://rulings.cbp.gov/home
