If you live in the USA & have ordered something from Europe for under $800 you'll be in for a long delay in getting your goods;
in a week's time, the US is suspending the 'de minimis' import duty exemption (already suspended for Chinese imports) & as there is no clear guidance on how (and by whom) import duty will collected across Europe postal services are halting deliveries of sub-$800 packages across the Atlantic.
