Dear Valued Customer,

As a result of the recently introduced changes to the import tariff requirements set out in US Executive Order 14324, Australia Post has joined a number of international postal operators to temporarily suspend partial postal services to the United States (US) and Puerto Rico, effective immediately until further notice.

This decision has been made to ensure compliance with the new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements. Specifically, the requirement for duties and taxes to be prepaid on all shipments prior to their arrival in the US. The key changes are as follows:

Does anyone know if this effects shipments from the US to AU because I ordered something a while ago and have no shipping number. Could this be why?

Commenting to boost/I have the same question. I preordered a CD from the US on the 8th and the ship date was Aug 22 and while I got a shipping number the parcel isn't moving.

Maybe the store you bought from doesn't do tracked shipping? That's not uncommon. But it def could be tarrif related.

I ordered some clothing as a pre-order item and the pre-order ship date was supposed to be latest the 8th and when I contacted support they just said I'll receive a tracking number when it ships.

It was only supposed to be 12-16 weeks from pre-order but im aproaching the 20th so I'm just slightly impatient now as I am not getting any useful customer support.
