Reliable enough to start your morning with. Toast it again tomorrow.
Summary
Australia Post is suspending transit shipping services to the United States due to new Trump administration tariffs that will impose import duties on low-value parcels starting next week. The move affects goods from other countries being shipped to the US via Australia, as the previous $US800 de minimis exemption for Australian goods will no longer apply, creating global chaos for postal networks and retailers.
