Hong Kong (CNN) — 

The US Postal Service says it has suspended the acceptance of incoming international parcels from China and Hong Kong until further notice, threatening the business models of e-commerce giants Shein and Temu. （美國郵局表示，已暫停接收來自中國和香港的國際包裹，直至另行通知，此舉可能威脅到電商巨頭希音Shein和Temu的商業模式。）

It did not provide a reason for the suspension, but said in a statement Tuesday the flow of letters will not be affected. The Postal Service did not provide any additional information on the suspension when contacted by CNN. （郵局在週二的聲明中並未說明暫停的原因，但表示信件流通不會受到影響。當美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）就此暫停措施聯繫美國郵政署時，該署未提供任何額外信息。）

The announcement comes just days after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order that terminated the “de minimis” exemption, a long-standing rule that allowed anyone, including exporters, to ship packages worth less than $800 to the United States without duties or needing to undergo inspections.

（此公告發布前幾天，美國川普總統剛簽署一項行政命令，終止了「微量豁免」政策。這項長期存在的規定此前允許任何人（包括出口商）將價值低於800美元的包裹運往美國時，無需繳納關稅或接受檢查。）
