The BVI Postal Service has announced the temporary suspension of mail items containing goods bound for the United States and its territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) effective Friday, 29th August 2025, until further notice.

This follows the introduction of U.S. Executive Order 14324, which eliminates the duty-free de minimis exemption and requires all international parcels, regardless of value, to be subject to U.S. import duties. The order takes effect immediately.

Please note that this Executive Order does not affect the acceptance or processing of letters and documents. The BVI Postal Service will continue to facilitate shipments of these items to the United States without interruption.

The BVI Postal Service apologises for any inconvenience this temporary suspension may cause and thanks its customers for their understanding and continued support.
