Good news for cross-border shippers and NRIs — India Post will resume international postal services to the United States starting tomorrow, the Ministry of Communications announced in a press release today.
The decision follows the successful establishment of a compliant Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) processing system, developed in coordination with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
⚙️ What’s New in the Postal System
The Ministry said the upgraded mechanism ensures:
- Full regulatory compliance with US import rules
- Faster customs clearance for shipments
- Seamless doorstep delivery to recipients across the US
- No additional duties or unexpected delays for customers
This update is expected to significantly streamline e-commerce exports, personal shipments, and document deliveries between India and the United States — one of India’s largest overseas postal destinations.
🚫 Background: Why Services Were Suspended
Postal services from India to the US were earlier suspended after an Executive Order issued by the US administration introduced new customs regulations related to duty collection and remittance.
The temporary halt was necessary to ensure India Post’s systems could adapt to the enhanced compliance framework required by US authorities.
🌍 A Step Forward for India–US Connectivity
With the new compliant setup in place, India Post aims to enhance reliability and transparency in international mail services, benefiting individuals, exporters, and small businesses relying on postal networks for cross-border trade and communication.
