That link is transit shipping.

This is announcement is direct shipping.

The easiest solution for international online retail stores will likely be “We do not ship to the US”. Some rely on US customers but for many stores US is just one of many buyer locations.

Consider the perspective from outside; Put simply, it’s more costly now to engage with the US market.

And the answer will be a good amount of reshipping.

It makes sense when the USA rules are not clear.

Nothing a good reshipper can’t get around. The fees may still happen, but the products will still be US available.

so, mark all the mail in the world RTS, and start over?, again, and then next week.....
