Update (8:49 AM ET February 5, 2025): Official documentation from the US Customs and Border Patrol states that all shipments from China will now be subject to formal processing fees, regardless of their value. These fees total $32.71. The USPS has resumed accepting packages from China and Hong Kong, but will begin collecting fees and tariffs.


Original article (8:15 AM ET February 5, 2025): 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.”
