New York City, United States – Following the termination of the “de minimis” trade rule, UPS has faced significant challenges, leading to slower shipping and lost packages for consumers. The rule’s end has resulted in increased tariffs and a backlog at customs, affecting companies like Tezumi Tea, which lost $13,000 worth of products. UPS has stopped accepting shipments from Japan, prompting customers to switch to other carriers. Experts suggest UPS’s disposal of uncleared packages may stem from financial pressures amidst tighter margins.
