Lao Post Halts Parcel Shipments to the United States

This Week

Lao Post Co., Ltd. has announced the temporary suspension of all parcel shipments to the United States, effective immediately.

The decision comes in response to recent changes in U.S. trade policy that are expected to impact international mail and logistics.

According to the official statement released by Lao Post, the suspension is due to the revocation of the duty-free exemption by the United States government, following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.

The policy is scheduled to take effect on 29 August, and has already begun causing significant disruptions to international parcel delivery services.

“As a result of the policy shift, parcel acceptance for the United States is now suspended until further notice,” the announcement read.

However, Lao Post emphasized that letter-post services to the U.S. remain unaffected and will continue to operate as usual.
The postal authority extended its apologies for the inconvenience caused and assured customers that updates will be provided as the situation develops.

Customers are advised to check with local post offices or the Lao Post website for the latest information.
