Postal counters stopped accepting parcels bound for the U.S. starting Monday, with international express mail service — excluding that for duty-free documents — to be suspended beginning Tuesday. The measure will apply to all mail arriving in the United States from midnight on Friday, with all items other than documents and letters subject to declaration and a 15 percent tariff.
