ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Multiple postal services around Europe say they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties. Postal services in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Italy say they will stop shipping most merchandise to the U.S. effective immediately. France and Austria will follow on Monday, and the United Kingdom on Tuesday. From Aug. 29, international goods that were previously exempt from U.S. tariffs will be subject to import duties. That applies to merchandise worth over $800. Letters, books, gifts and small parcels worth less than $100 will continue to be exempt.
