We've been having trouble sending materials even with UPS. We recently had a close call with some types that almost got tossed, even though we alerted the collection it was being sent, UPS had their email and phone number, and we marked return to sender if
they couldn't reach them to release the package from customs. I'm wondering if we just need to stop sending loans for now. </div>

Australia Post has taken the extraordinary step of immediately suspending many forms of postage to the United States, as a Trump administration tariff on low-value parcels is due to come into effect within days.</p>
<p class="x_x_paragraph_paragraph__iYReA" style="box-sizing:border-box; font-size:18.0px">
Australian businesses selling to American customers will be blocked from shipping to the US via Australia Post from today.</p>
<p class="x_x_paragraph_paragraph__iYReA" style="box-sizing:border-box; font-size:18.0px">
The government-owned postal service joins other global carriers in taking this step, ahead of new levies beginning on Friday, August 29.</p>
<p class="x_x_paragraph_paragraph__iYReA" style="box-sizing:border-box; font-size:18.0px">
Australia Post's decision is effective immediately, from August 26, and is until "further notice".</p>
<p class="x_x_paragraph_paragraph__iYReA" style="box-sizing:border-box; font-size:18.0px">
Also Czech post stop delivering parcels to USA.</p>
