- The USPS just suspended all packages coming to the US from China, which includes nearly every Android gaming handheld on the market.
- This is a result of tariffs and the removal of the de minimis exemption from customs fees.
- It’s unclear how long this will last or what its ultimate effects will be on the gaming handheld market.
The gaming handheld market has exploded in recent years, but now everything has come crashing to a halt with a short post on the USPS website: “Effective Feb. 4, the Postal Service will temporarily suspend only international package acceptance of inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong Posts until further notice.”
While the text says it only affects China Post and Hong Kong Post, the reality has been different. As reported by Wired, transportation companies are already having trucks turned away at the border if they contain packages from China.
