India has announced the suspension of all postal services to the United States starting August 25, following recent tariff measures imposed by the Trump administration. The move comes amid escalating trade tensions between the two countries, with both sides taking strong retaliatory steps.
Officials from the Department of Posts said that the suspension will affect both commercial and personal shipments, including letters, parcels, and express mail. This decision is seen as a response to Washington’s tariff hikes on Indian exports, which New Delhi described as “unjustified and discriminatory.”
The suspension is expected to cause disruptions for businesses and individuals who rely on postal channels for shipping goods and documents. Experts noted that while private courier services may still function, costs could rise significantly, impacting small traders and e-commerce platforms that depend on affordable postal services.
Trade analysts believe the suspension reflects the widening rift between India and the US on tariff policies and market access issues. They also warn that if the standoff continues, it could affect broader trade negotiations and create long-term challenges in bilateral economic ties.
Talks between the two governments are ongoing, but there has been no official confirmation of when postal services might resume. For now, businesses and individuals will have to seek alternative means to send consignments across the Pacific.
