The Indian Postal Department has temporarily closed most of the international postal services sent to the US from 25 August. This step has been taken due to the new tariff rules of the US government, in which custom duty will now have to be paid on every goods of more than $ 100. Earlier this limit was $ 800. This can affect millions of diaspora and online shoppers. The postal department has regretted inconvenience and said that efforts are on to restore services soon.
